Description: | Large fragment of relatively thick copper alloy cast rim from a vessel, probably a mortar of later medieval date (1300 - 1700). The fragment is broadly sub-rectangular in plan expanding slightly from the top to the base. In cross section it is also a sub-rectangular shape. The fragment tapers slightly from the rim, although one edge is heavily abraded. The fragment is a mid green colour with an even powdery patina. This patina has been abraded in several places, probably through movement in the soil. This movement has also damaged the edges producing an asymmetrical shape. In the areas where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion is present. Similar examples of mortars / copper alloy vessels have been dated to the later medieval period (1300 - 1700).The fragment measures 19.8mm in length, has a maximum width of 38.6mm, a maximum thickness of 12.3mm and it weighs 45.01 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
