Description: | Lead inkwell, probably late medieval. Almost complete, with a little of the neck broken, one bottom corner badly damaged and part of the body caved in towards the base. It is 61mm in height with a 29 x 15mm base. The body narrows towards the neck, measuring 24 x 14mm at the base of the neck. The neck is 7mm tall with an internal diameter of 9mm and an external diameter of 14mm. The object is very worn and the measurements are accurate only to within 1-2mm because the edges have lost their sharpness and are now rounded. At the centre of the base, on the outside of the object and visible as a tiny spike on the inside (through the caved-in hole), is an iron rivet (iron staining surrounds it on the outside). All breaks are ancient.See Saunders 2001, fig. 34, no.83 for a similar example that has side lugs. Also compare with PAS find WILT-276366, a less sturdy example than this one. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1301
