Description: | A cast copper alloy vessel lid. Square with projecting circular handle on top that has a white stone material (possibly chalk) in a hole on top of the projection. This handle projection is a seperate element to the main lid and was attached via a rivet through the underside of the lid. The lid has an integrally cast curved hinge through which a pin from a hinge would have been inserted to enable the vessel lid to be open and closed. The underside of the lid has a square moulding that projects and is smaller than the outer lid - this probably served as the inner seal of the vessel, on something like a tea caddy or other small vessel. The style and manufacturing technique employed here suggests that this lid probably dates to the post-medieval period, c.18th century.
