Description: | Fragment of the rim of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel. The exterior has a slight concave neck and the interior of the rim has a 'D' shaped profile. Just beneath the rim the wall of of the vessel is 3.21mm thick. Abrasion to the fractures suggest that the vessel was broken in antiquity. Near the rim there appears to be a broken circular rivet hole. The interior surface has a smooth surface with traces of a mottled green/grey coloured patina. On the exterior surface is a heavy black deposit which may be a carbon/sooty deposit. The fragment measures 64.24mm wide across the rim and 32.08mm long. It weighs 40.5g. Helen Geake (Finds Recording Guide 2001) suggests cooking vessels, such as this, date from the 13th to 16th centuries.
