Description: | A glazed pot fragment from possibly a vessel or a stand probably dating to the period 15th or 16th Century. The fragment consists of what appears to be the terminal end of a handle; it is flattened at the terminal half and semi-round at the other. At the terminal end the fragment convexes inwards, possibly for an object to rest in or to butt up against another part of the vessel. The entire object is quite irregular in section and appears to have been crudely handmade. On the obverse of the fragment in the flattened half is the raised moulding of a human head with the beginning of shoulders and upper body below. The face appears to be that of a female with a raised lattice-work wimple behind the head. The pot fragment is green glazed; the glaze has not been applied to a large area on the reverse, and has worn off on the reverse around the convex end. The fragment is broken off at the rounded section end, the break itself is relatively worn. This fragment probably dates to the 15th or 16th Century.
