Description: | Section of copper alloy trivet (foot-ring) from a copper alloy bowl. It comprises a short leg with expanded foot, which has a U-shaped loop projecting from either side. A curved section of metal is attached to the top edge of the foot and loops. Copper alloy vessels with omega-shaped handles and this form of trivet base were manufactured north of the Rhineland (Koch 1990, 227). Four were known from England by 1997; one from the cremation burial at Coombe, Woodnesborough, two from Gilton, Ash (graves 8 and 19) and one from Mill Hill, Deal, grave 91 (Parfitt and Brugmann 1997, 82-3). Such vessels were probably manufactured during the 6th century, although some were deposited in burials of early 7th century date.
