Description: | The object is probably a fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim. Helen Geake suggests these cooking vessels date from the 13th to 16th centuries (Finds Recording Guide 2001).
In profile the body of the vessel is quite straight and the rim is triangular in section with the tip pointing towards the interior of the vessel. The curvature of the rim suggests its diameter is between 16 and 18 cm. The wall of the vessel is 2.96mm thick which tapers slightly towards the base. The fragment has broken edges that are not too recent. The interior surface has a smooth dark grey coloured patina. In comparison, the exterior surface is slightly rough with flaking carbon/sooty deposits.
The fragment measures 52.27mm wide across the rim and 40.73mm long. It weighs 34.5g. | 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: | 1200
