A fragment from a cast copper-alloy object, probably a vessel of Medieval date. A curving section of the vessel, possibly a rim(?) survives, terminating at both ends in old breaks. It is rectangular in section and has evidence of burning or sooting at one end, as well as pale yellow/white encrustation. On the upper(?) surface the object has incised and moulded decoration comprising at one end a series of four short transverse grooves creating five projecting ridges. These terminate with an incised zig-zag motif that runs the length of the fragment to the old breaks at the opposite end…

A Medieval cast copper alloy zoomorphic vessel spout probably dating to the 15th century AD. The cylindrical spout was cast separately from the rest of the vessel and soldered on via the long sloping 'C' shaped arm. The spout itself is tubular and terminates in a dog's head with open mouth from which protrudes the end of the spout. The dog's head has a moulded nose, prominent, rounded brow and sub-oval ears that extend slightly above the flattened head; the eyes are not distinguished. These artefacts are pouring spouts likely to be from a pedestal based ewer like a priests washing bow…

An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval/ Post-Medieval (1200-1800) vessel leg from a ewer or skillet with a horizontal band at the ankle and broken just above. It measures 37.13mm in length and weighs 56.42g. At the break, which is triangular in cross-section, it measures 23.11x11.33mm. Below the ankle, the foot widens into three toes, 25.34mm wide and 16.45mm thick. Much of the patina is lost and a thick black coating is apparent on both front and back of the leg. This is probably the result of the vessel's usage in cooking over an open fire. Crudely made cast copper alloy vess…
