A damaged, Miniature Pear-shaped lead alloy jug.
\n13th to 15th century.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
Description: a cast lead alloy miniature jug, most likely having a long neck and probably a flared rim with a pouring lip which are now broken off and missing, Also the handle is broken off and only a trace of it on the main body of the jug remains. There is a flat base and a well defined casting seam showing at the side beneath the remains of the handle. The integral cast decoration to the body of the jug seems to represent basket work. Close examination with a glass shows that the remains of the neck had irregular zig zag design as the example found in Deighton (North Yorkshire).<\/p>
