Description: | The object is a base fragment of a probable vessel which Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide, Version 1.1; August 2001) attributes to the 13th to 17th centuries. The object is made of cast copper alloy and is incomplete. In plan the object is sub-triangular. All of it edges are obliquely angled due to damage, possibly during breakage (not recent breaks). In cross-section the base is slightly concave and uneven. No carbon deposits are evident on the base of the vessel. Only a small fragment of the body remains, which is undecorated and obliquely angled (more than 90ยบ) to the base. There is no separate join between the base and sides rather the side of the vessel tapers inwards, becomes slightly-rounded near the junction between base and sides, and then continues to form into the base itself. The object is dark grey in colour, and measures 32.3mm at its longest point, 43.0mm at its widest point and 3.5mm at the thickest part of the fragment. The weight of the object is 25.92g.
