Description: | A fragment of a possible copper alloy vessel rim. The rim in profile is generally flat, as is the portion of the flange remaining. The exterior edge is slightly thickened and has a rectangular platform on the upper surface. otherwise the edges of the fragment are all broken but not recently. The surfaces have a well developed dark green patina. It measures 35.19mm long across the rim, 17.2mm wide from the rim to the broken edge opposite and the rim is 1.84mm thick. It weighs 4.2g.The vessel in profile suggests it was a plate, rather than a dish or bowl. The condition of the metal, and similar shaped vessels suggest a Medieval or early Post Medieval date. Examples are illustrated in Egan (Egan, G. 2005 Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition MoLAS Monograph 19), Nos. 441 to 446 which are dated to the 15th to 17th centuries, and in Egan (Egan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household: Daily Living c. 1150 - c. 1450 The Stationary Office: London) No. 506 dated to the later 14th century.
