A large complete cast lead pot mend of uncertain date. The pot mend is comprised of two large oval discs joined by a thick central shank and was used to mend a broken vessel in order to lengthen the period of use after damage had occurred. The shank can be seen coming through the centre of the smaller of the two plates. The gap between the two plates is quite wide and contains no surviving ceramic material which would help in dating the object. The metal is a mid grayish-white colour and is worn. The pot mend is 45.9mm long, 34.5mm wide, 16.7mm thick and weighs 111g.
