Description: | The object is an integral cast copper alloy handle lug, 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 with a concave upper edge, and a flat but slightly uneven lower edge. In the centre is a single sub-oval hole which is approximately 15.0mm long and 10.6mm wide. In profile the object is triangular in shape, with the base of the object being thicker then the top. The base of the object is thicker as this is what remains of the vessel rim, which in plan can be seen to project beyond the width of the lug, before being broken longitudinally on both sides. The rim is sub-oval in cross-section, while in plan the front is decorated by two traverse lines. The rest of the vessel is missing.
The object is dark grey in colour and measures 35.6mm in length, 38.9mm wide, 5.4mm thick at the edge and weighs 22.78g. | 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
