Description: | a lead plug, or pot mend for a ceramic vessel. On one side is a flat irregular oval surface, measuring 27.87mm by 22.35mm. On the other side is a smaller oval plug 18.78mm by 14.73mm. The object weighs 20g. Pot mends used melted lead to fill holes in damaged ceramic vessels, allowing the lead to overlap the broken edges. Some examples are illustrated in Egan 1998, p.241, from contexts dating from 1200-1400. | 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
