Description: | Cast copper alloy rim fragment from a large bowl or cooking vessel with an internally bevelled rim that is semi-circular in section and narrows until it is flush with the body of the vessel. The body of the vessel curves downwards slightly to suggest a reasonably deep straight-sided bowl or a deep straight-sided everted rim, as seen on cauldrons, and the curvature of the rim suggests a large diameter of about 380 mm. But the rim has been bent out of shape so that the diameter is just an estimate. The bevelled rim itself is 4.3 mm thick which then tapers to the body which is 4 mm thick. The interior of the fragment has a black residue all over it which suggests that it is burnt organic material formed when the vessel was used for cooking.Egan (2005) illustrates a similar example of a bowl fragment with a flared rim and straight-sided body on page 99, Fig.85, No.444, which is dated from c.1550-1600.Ottaway and Rogers (2002) illustrate a similar fragment of a cooking vessel with an internally bevelled rim on page 2810, Fig.1394, No.14197, which is dated from the mid 15th century to the early 17th century.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate cauldrons with internally bevelled rims on page 119, No.119, which is dated from the 17th century, and on page 142, No.145, which is dated to c.1500.
