Description: | Rim fragment from a Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper alloy vessel, 1200-1700 AD. The vessel rim projects outwards at about 45 degrees from the horizontal to create a triangular-sectioned raised collar around the rim of the pot. There is no further decoration on the vessel surface. The fragment has a dark olive-green patina. It is 39.7mm long, 32.3mm wide and 7.0mm thick; it weighs 25.2 grams.Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'.
