Description: | A rim and body fragment from a cast copper alloy vessel dating from the medieval to the post-medieval period, circaAD1200-1600.The fragment is slightly curved in profile. The outer face is rough with many horizontal scratches, whilst the inner surface is smoothed. There is a slight thickening at the rim on the inner side with an internal bevel at the top edge. The internal surface has a green coloured patina and the outer surface is darkened possibly from sooting. The external face has a rib running vertically along the centre of the fragment. The lower edge flares outwards slightly. Copper alloy vessels were widely used from circa AD 1200-1700 for serving and cooking. This fragment is too small to establish if this was for a cooking vessel or for serving food.The fragment measures 55.5mm in height, 47.25mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 52 grams.
