Description: | Fragment of the rim of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel . In profile the body of the vessel is straight on the exterior. The interior of the rim is 'S' shaped in profile. The wall of the vessel just below the rim is 4.53mm thick. Abrasion to the broken edges suggest that the breaks are not recent. The interior surface has a smooth surface, with traces of a green/grey coloured shiny patina. On the exterior is a black deposit which may be a carbon/sooty deposit. The fragment measures 29.63mm wide across the rim and 39.57mm long. It weighs 30.9g.
Helen Geake (Finds Recording Guide 2001) suggests cooking vessels, such as this, date from the 13th to 16th centuries. | 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
