Description: | Rim fragment from an open vessel probably in a leaded bronze or pewter alloy. The rim is well finished and delicate, too fine for a cooking vessel or mortar. It is slightly twisted making it hard to estimate the original diameter but it was probably an open vessel rather than a beaker. The rim flares at c.30 degrees to the body with raised semi-circular collars on the inner and outer side at the angle. It is 37.6mm long, 16.3mm wide and 1.9mm thick; it weighs 5.51 grams. There are accreted remains on the outside including shell, possibly oyster shell. It is hard to date such a small fragment precisely but it is probably later Medieval to Post medieval in date (1200-1800 AD).
