VESSEL

Unique ID: CAM-FEB143

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Fragment of rim from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel. The exterior is roughly smoothed and the interior is more highly polished. The metal is a relatively light greyish green. The rim is thickened to give it a deep plano-convex cross-section with the curved face on the inside. The fragment measures 76 x 28 mm. The thickness varies from 4 mm at the rim to 2 mm at its thinnest part. The breaks are reasonably fresh. It weighs 35.99g. There are two other rim fragments from cooking vessels from this group of finds, all probably from different vessels. The type was in use for a long period, from the 13th to the 18th centuries.
