Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim. The rim, in profile is ?/I? shaped. The exterior surface has traces of a black deposit which may be a carbon/sooty deposit. This surface is quite rough. The interior surface is quite smooth and has a well developed mid green/grey coloured patina with a dark discolouration near the rim, which may be due to smoke. The breaks of the fragment are covered with the patina and imply it was broken some time ago. The fragment measures 19.11mm wide across the rim and 20.16mm long from the rim to the lower edge. It weighs 5.3g.
The shape of the rim and the carbon/sooty deposit suggests this was probably a type of cooking vessel. Helen Geake (Finds Recording Guide 2001) suggests cooking vessels 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
