Description: | Copper alloy vessel rim sherd. Though the patina appears Roman the rim form is more suggestive of a cauldron of the medieval to post medieval period and as such is tentatively dated to between c1400 and c1700 AD, but could date to any time from c43 to c1700 AD. The inside has been kept well polished but the exterior is sooted. The thin walls (c3mm) and the two rivets (from either a repair or possibly a mount or handle) also suggest this sherd comes from a valued and long lived vessel.The length is 78mm, width 53mm, wall thickness 3mm, and the weight 82.17g.Similar records on the database include NCL-55ECD6 (a close parallel), SUR-EEED40, and LIN-7108E8.
