Description: | A lead alloy pot mend dating from to the Post-Medieval period. The object is sub-oval in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. It is comprised of two oval discs joined by a thick central shank at the top of the object and was used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. The gap between the two plates is contains ceramic material of a dark orange coloured fabric with no inclusions. The lead has a dark brownish white patina. The fabric of the vessel suggests that it is of Post-Medieval date.
