Description: | Copper alloyPossible Vessel fragment. Solid cast object of probably sub-rectangular section and tapering towards one end. There are two opposed flat surfaces, and two narrower opposed surfaces which are smooth with central ridges. Extensive cuboid fractures may indicate the object has been subjected to intense heat. This reporter suggests the object may be a substantial vessel leg. The finder perceives the form of a ram's head with tightly curled horn when viewed from one side; however, there is only a cavity with corrosion in its base on the opposite side so this appearance may be the fortuitous result of damage.Suggested date: Possibly Medieval, 1250-1500.Length: 37.6mm, Width: 24.8mm, Thickness: 18.8mm, Weight: 54.83gms.
