Description: | Large fragment from the rim of a later medieval or post medieval chafing dish (1350 - 1650). The fragment comprises the external rim and a single sub-rectangular projection which would act as a trivet. The rim is thickened and the body tapers. The breaks are worn and jagged but also patinated suggesting they are old and the object has not moved much in the soil. The trivet projection is an irregular four sided pyramid, with two facetted tapering sides. On the internal and external faces of the bowl / rim are a series of circumferential grooves, possibly from being turned. The metal is a mid greenish grey with an even well formed dusty patina. A number of similar fragments are recorded on the PAS databaseThe fragment measures: 71.3mm width, 53.9mm length, is 2.4mm thick at rim and 1.3mm thick across the body. The projection measures 34.5mm length, is 13.2mm width and 11.2mm thick. The rim has an external diameter of 15cm and represents 16% of the rim. It weighs 42.93 grams
