Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel. The fragment is sub semi-circular in plan, with an elongated drop-shaped hole in the centre. This hole is where the handle or chain would be suspended from. The edge of the hole has some wear. The lower edge of the object is broken and also slightly off-set. The break is not too recent. One face of the fragment has heavy deposits of a black carbon substance, which is presumably the exterior. The interior face also has deposits of a black carbon substance, but they are not as heavy. The lower portion of the interior has no deposits, instead has a shiny mid grey patina. It measures 43.19mm long and 35.97mm wide. It weighs 21.76g.The fragment is from a type of cooking vessel, some of which were suspended by chains. Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) illustrates a suspended cooking vessel with similar suspension loops, Figure 146, and Figure 137. These types of objects tend to date to the Medieval and early Post Medieval periods. According to Geake (2001 Finds Recording Guide), date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
