It consists of a projecting rectangular lug, which extends from the rim of the chafing dish. These lugs would have supported a saucepan or similar cooking vessels above the burning charcoal for culinary purposes.It measures 36.55mm in length, 21.52mm wide and 8.74mm thick. It weighs 20.9 grams.It is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patination.Chafing dish rims are frequently encountered finds, and many examples have been recorded on the PAS database. They were domestic utensils made of metal or earthenware for holding burning charcoal or other combustible material. This was then used to cook food or keep it hot at the table. Chafing dishes with this type of rim were frequently used during the Post Medieval period (15th to 16th Centuries AD).
