Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, probably a strainer, skimmer or possibly from the spout of a vessel of Medieval or later date. Only a small fragment of the object, currently folded to an angle of approximately 45 degrees, survives intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is flat, with curved outer edge that suggests it may originally have been circular or oval in form. It has multiple circular perforations arranged in relatively neat rows and terminates in old breaks in all directions other than the outer edge. The fragment has a dark green patina and measures 23.91mm in length, 23.25mm in width (folded), 1.18mm in thickness and 2.91g in weight.This is probably a fragment from a strainer or similar object, with possible parallels noted from London (Egan, 1998: nos. 437-440). It is likely to be of Medieval date, c.13th-15th centuries AD, although an earlier or later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
