Description: | The object is an integral cast copper alloy handle lug and rim fragment, which possibly dates to the 13th to 17th centuries. The rest of the vessel is missing. As an example Egan (Egan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 6. The Medieval Household Daily Living c.1150-c.1450. Museum of London) illustrates an example of a suspended cooking vessel with integral handle lugs (fig.137).
In plan the lug is semi-circular and flat. It is 27.1mm wide and 17.8mm long. In its centre is a single sub-oval hole which is approximately 9.5mm long and 7.5mm wide. The lug is attached to an inverted sub-triangular rim fragment. The rim edge is the only original edge left the other two being obliquely angled. The rim is sub-rectangular in cross-section, with a flat slightly angled rim edge. In profile the object is slightly concave.
The object is dark brown in colour and is abraded. The object measures 41.4mm in length, 46.9mm wide, 5.9mm thick at the edge and weighs 22.59g | 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
