Description: | A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy container, probably a birdfeeder, circa 1400-1700. The feeder is semi-circular in shape with a flat base. There are two cast decoration bands running around the curved side of the container, one on the rim and the other 11.63 mm below the rim. The container has been partly squashed. The object would have held water, green plants or seed for a caged bird. There is no sign of a means of attachment. Egan, Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition(2005) p129, states that the plainer examples continue into the late 17th century. It has a light mottled grey patina.
