Description: | Roman to early Post Medieval vessel rims: Two copper alloy fragments of vessel rims. They have a flat flange which is convex on the outer rim and on the interior there is an obliquely angled face forming the interior of the vessel. At the upper edge of the interior there is a slight beaded edge. One fragment is decorated with two fine parallel lines which are not in the centre of the flange, but are obliquely angled across the flange. The smaller fragment is undecorated. The broken edges to the fragments are not recent. The larger fragment has a dark grey matte patina, the smaller fragment has a dark green patina which is incomplete. The larger fragment measures 53.57mm long, 11.05mm wide, 8.19mm deep from the beaded edge to the lower broken edge. The exterior diameter is 150mm. It weighs 14.65g. The smaller fragment measures 28.35mm long, 11.49mm wide, 8.24mm deep from the beaded edge to the lower broken edge. The exterior diameter is 120mm. It weighs 6.51g.The fragments may be a flange from a vessel such as a bowl or dish, or it could also be a fragment of a lid. An example of a tankard lid from medieval London is illustrated in Egan 1998, (which though similar is more elaborate and has a smaller diameter).On the PAS database there are similar rims (SF-442280, BERK-019B31, NMS-5C8AD2, and SUSS-6F0A22) and vary in date from the Roman period to the Post Medieval period.
