Description: | Cast copper alloy lid with part of the hinge remaining on the back of one edge. The lid is circular in plan and in the form of a moulded flower with a central raised knop, surrounded by six open petals with raised overlapping arches. The arches are decorated with fine transverse parallel ridges, giving the petal a texture. Within each petal arch is either a raised oval pellet, alternating with a raised lozenge shaped. Behind the petals, in each angle between the arches, are raised triangles with rounded edges, which form part of the border of the lid. The upper surface of the lid has a black coating which appears to have been lacquer which emphasises the textured ridged surface.Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar pattern on a handle on page 16, No.13, which is dated from the late 18th century to the early 19th century.
