Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel (probably) with a sheet copper alloy repair. Probably Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval (AD 1400 - AD 1600). Length 31mm, width, including repair, 64mm. Thickness of body 3mm. Weight 32.38g. The fragment is part of an everted and thickened rim. When complete, the vessel rim would have had a diameter of about 170mm. The repair is made of thin sheet copper alloy and secured to the inner face of the vessel by a single copper alloy rivet. Most of each head of the rivet is lost. There is a narrow space between the fragment and the repair and this is filled with a black substance, probably soot. Alternatively this substance may be the charred remains of a watertight seal. The fragment has a dark grey and mottled green patina and the repair has a light green patina. The breaks are old on both elements.
