Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy vessel of medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment is likely to be part of a cup or shallow dish.One original straight edge remains, the rest being irregular due to old breaks. Embossed decoration is present across the surface in the form of large central bosses enclosed by a ring of ten smaller bosses. Two complete examples of this decoration remain though signs of further such devices are also present. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The fragment is 61.6mm long, 47mm wide, 1.7mm thick and weighs 9.3g.While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific type it is likely to be from a large cooking vessel and dates from c. AD 1100 to c. AD 1850 when the use of cast iron cooking vessels predominates.
