Description: | A copper-alloy fragment from a curvilinear object measuring 41mm in surviving length and 28mm in width. The outer convex face has a central raised longitudinal rib flanked by a longitudinal groove on either side. The outer face is abraded by post cast working or polishing and a deep dark brown in colour. The inner face is as cast and is mainly a reddish-brown colour, possibly due to a former fixing onto an organic backing. Both of the breaks and ancient and worn and at the centre of one of them there is possibly part of a round perforation through the central rib, with a rounded lip visible on the inner face, suggesting that this was formed pre-cast, though it could be a casting void. The function of the fragment is unknown it could possibly be a strengtening band from a vessel such as a bucket. Its date is unknown and it is perhaps most likely to be post medieval. | 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: | 1500
