VESSEL

Unique ID: NARC-3A33E0

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Lead pot mend for repairing ceramic vessels. The item consists of a piece of lead which would have been moulded around the break in a vessel. Its maximium dimensions are 40 mm by 30 mm and it is 9 mm thick. Such repairs are known from the Roman period right through until the post-medieval period so unless pottery is still attached these items can be difficult to date.
