Description: | Fragment of a cast cu-alloy vessel or boss, probably dating from the late post-medieval or early modern period. The fragment is too small to allow for a definite identification. The fragment seems to have come off the rim of a small bowl or boss. The metal is fairly thick and the inside does not look worked or smoothed which suggests that it was hidden from sight. Two very small rivet holes remains near the rim of the fragment; the whole bowl/boss would have had approx. six rivet holes, given that there was the same distance between each two of them. The outer rim is decorated with simple band of lines and cross making up this pattern: XIIXIIXII Below this band was probably another, thinner one with a simple zigzag line inside. If this object was a decorative or protective boss of, it could have been attached to the foot of a wooden object (e.g. a piece of furniture or a chest).
