A sherd of a broken Medieval ceramic vessel with a lead pot mend embedded in it. The object is sub triangular in shape; the fabric is fine and is light grey in colour; the edges are water worn and rounded. There is a blob of lead half embedded at the wider end of the object; presumably used to plug a hole in the pot. The convex outside of the object is covered by a mottled green-brown glaze and the concave inside has a yellow coating.
