A Post Medieval lead alloy small bowl, probably a salt, probably dating to the 17th century. The bowl has a rounded base, curved walls and a rim which has been rolled back on itself. The bowl has tripod feet soldered onto the body. One of these is missing and there is the corresponding section of the wall missing as well. The rim is decorated with diagonal lines creating a twisted rope effect. The feet are also decorated with a scallop shell at the point of attachment with the bowl and there is some decorative moulding on the base of the foot. There are no traces of maker's marks visible. The shape of the bowl is slightly distorted and the rim is incomplete. One of the broken pieces of rim is still present. There is also a small hole in the body of the bowl in addition to the hole caused by the missing foot.
