Description: | A rim fragment from a medieval or post medieval copper alloy vessel. The rim flares out from the vessel wall and appears to be beaded. The outer side is rough from the poorly finished mould and the inner side smooth. A circular hole have been drilled near one broken edge, which still holds the remains of a rolled copper alloy sheet rivet. The fragment is 56.5mm in length and 50.0mm in width, 6.5 mm thick including the rivet and 55.3 grams in weight.Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.AD 1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. (Egan 2005 ; 101)
