Description: | The object is probably a fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim. Helen Geake suggests these cooking vessels date from the 13th to 16th centuries (Finds Recording Guide 2001). In profile the body of the vessel is quite straight with the rim leaning outwards slightly. The rim is sub-triangular in section. The wall of the vessel is 4.65mm thick. The fragment has broken edges that are not too recent. The interior surface has an almost smooth surface with a mid grey/green coloured patina. In comparison, the exterior surface is slightly rough with heavy deposits of carbon/sooty deposits. The fragment measures 38.79mm wide across the rim and 31.74mm long. It weighs 14.2g.
