Description: | The object is a rim fragment of a probable vessel which Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide, Version 1.1; August 2001) attributes to the 13th to 17th centuries. The object is made of cast copper alloy and is incomplete.
In plan the object is sub-triangular, with one edge obliquely angled. The upper rim is the only unbroken edge of the object. The fragment has a thickened and everted rim which in cross-section is sub-oval in shape, tapering to a blunt point or ?? shape at its edge. The inner face of the rim is decorated by two traverse grooves. In profile the object is slightly curvaceous, making the external face slightly convex and the internal face slightly concave. The diameter of the vessel can be estimated from the curvature of the the rim, which in this instance is approximately 18.5mm.
The object is dark grey-green in colour. Traces of a black deposit, probably carbon are evident in patches on the external face of the object. The object measures 50.9mm at its longest point, 54.8mm at its widest point and 7.3mm at the thickest part of the rim. The weight of the object is 59.16g. | 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
