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 a sub-'n' shape in section. The wall of the vessel is 3.01mm 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 horizontal striations and with traces of carbon/sooty deposits. The fragment measures 14.79mm wide across the rim and 25.82mm long. It weighs 3.31g.
