VESSEL

Unique ID: YORYM-7B9D29

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A fragment of a copper alloy vessel of medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment is part of the leg of a probable cooking vessel. The leg is sub-rectangular in section expanding outward towards the foot. The base of the foot is flat which would have aided in the stability of the overall vessel and the upper edge of the leg terminates in a worn break. A slight raised spine is present along the centre of the leg and the sides are slightly flared.

The metal has a mid-greenish-brown patina and is worn. The fragment is 21.5mm long, 29.8mm wide, 28.5mm thick and weighs 50.7g.

While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific type it is likely to be from a large cooking vessel and dates from c. AD 1100 to c. AD 1850 when the use of cast iron cooking vessels predominates.
