Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel body. All the edges of the body fragment are broken, but not recently. The external surface has horizontal striations. The interior is a more smooth surface. The fragment measures 22.35mm wide, 2.72mm thick and 22.25mm long. It weighs 6.5g.The surface condition suggests this was probably a fragment from an unknown type of cooking vessel. It is uncertain what type of vessel, but Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. These cooking vessels date from the mid 13th to mid 19th centuries.
