Object type certainty: Certain

status: Awaiting validation 
Fragment of a cast copper alloy bowl, from the base of the rim, following the curvature of the body of the bowl and tapering towards the base where it has broken away from the vessel. The curvature in profile shows that the bowl would not have been very deep, perhaps 120 mm in depth. The the curvature in plan suggests that the bowl would have been about 260 mm in diameter.
Egan (2005) illustrates a similar example of a bowl fragment with a curved body on page 99, Fig.85, No.443, which is dated from c.1550-1600.
Ottaway and Rogers (2002) list body fragments of thin cast cooking pots on pages 3113-4, Nos.14202-7, which are dated from the mid 16th century to the mid 17th century.
Margeson (1993) illustrates a vessel fragment with a similar curvature on page 91, Fig.58, No.567A which is dated from the early 16th century.
