Description: | Fragment of cast leaded copper alloy turned vessel of probable late medieval to post medieval date (1400 - 1650). The fragment is worn and irregular in shape. It is likely to be from a large dish, bowl, or cooking vessel with a stepped and out-turned rim. The vessel fragment is a mid green colour with a polished patina which survives best on the upper edge. Both the front and rear surfaces have a brushed appearance with a series of incised circumferential lines. From what survives of the rim it has a projected diameter of 28cm and represents approximately 5% of the rim circumference. A direct parallel has not been found.The fragment measures 43.2mm length, 47.2mm width, is 4.3mm thick at rim, 2.2mm thick at body and weighs 28.91 grams.
