Description: | 13th-17th Century. Copper alloy, cast, fair size rim and handle fragment of a cooking receptacle - probably from a skillet. Truncated length 66.8mm, Truncated width 37.1mm, Truncated thickness 21.3mm, Weight 81.3g. This rim and broken handle fragment is relatively thick and heavy with a curvature indicating a smaller skillet like vessel rather than a cauldron. The broken base of the handle is sub-trapezoidal in section with a vertical hole right through the handle - the weak point where the fracture occured. There is a dark green patina - smooth on the inside surface but rough 'matt' surface on the outside which has a brown rusty corrosive stain. Ref.
