A cast copper alloy fragment of a chafing dish dating to the later Medieval period. The object consists of an integral support which projects upwards and a small fragment of the rim. The dish support is sub-rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in cross-section. On the lower face of the rim fragment is a circumferential groove. File marks are visible on each face of the object. Lewis (1973, p63-4) describes the type of vessel which he calls type B: "These vessels are cast in one piece and finished on the lathe. The only decorative features are single or double incised girth lines. …

A cast copper-alloy Roman mount in the form of a sleeping hound from a patera (vessel). The mount is D-shaped in cross-section, with a flat reverse. The features of the dog are moulded, particularly the hunched up hindleg and similarly bent foreleg upon which the dog's head rests. Unlike the relatively well-known series of sitting hound-mounts and brooches known from Roman Britain, this hound is depicted curled up asleep. The dog has a generally smooth body with longitudinal decorative short lines representing fur behind the fore paw and ear which abuts it, the ear formed of a pair of…

A hollow foot from a Roman vessel. A similar example was found in excavations at Colchester (Crummy 1983: 73, no. 2051 fig. 76), where it was suggested to be possibly a foot from a bowl. See also BH-1911F3 and NLM-A2CB67.The foot is pelta-shaped with a central incomplete groove.

An incomplete copper alloy probable jug handle, of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 300). The back face is slightly concave and curvilinear to accommodate the body of the copper-alloy vessel, to which it would have originally been soldered. The front face of the terminal is rounded and moulded to depict a forwards facing head. The face is sub square in shape with almond shaped eyes, which have been silver plated with circular depressions for the pupils. The nose is projecting and flattened and the mouth is small and represented by moulded lips with a straight horizontal groove between the…

A fragment of a medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy vessel. The piece, which represents foot of a cauldron or similar vessel, has a triangular cross section and splays towards the base , which is concave.The break at the top is irregular.Traces of a black sustance adhere to the corroded surfaces. Dimensions: height: 28.4mm; maximum width: 46.2mm. Weight: 101.36g. Butler, Green and Payne suggest that this form of foot was common on medieval vessels, although examples are known from as late as the 17th century (2009: 4).

Part of a cast copper-alloy handle fragment from a cauldron of Medieval or Post-Medieval date. The handle is C-shaped with a sharp but rounded bend at the centre. The handle is circular at one end becoming wider and oval in section at the centre and continuing that section to the other end. Both ends have concave faces and appear complete with the faces being the inner side of the vessel with no more of the vessel wall attached. Similar C-shaped handles are illustrated by Butler et al. (2009, 5; fig. 3 b) who suggest (ibid:1) vessels of this type were in use c.AD 1100-1750.

A rim fragment from a late Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper alloy vessel. The rim is slightly thickened with a D shaped swelling on the outer side and would have flared out from the body of the vessel. The internal surface is smooth but the external surface is slightly rough from being casting and has extensive soot deposits. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c. AD 1200-1700 for serving and cooking (Butler and Green 2003; 7,15, 22).

Part of a cast copper alloy leg from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. The leg has a sub-rectangular cross section with convex rounded edges and a flat front and back. At the top and bottom are old breaks. The front of the leg has a raised central rib running down the length. This appears to be an example of Butler, Green and Payne (2009: 4) Type 'a'. This type was widespread in the Medieval period with examples also found into the early 17th century. SOM-D66AA0 on this database is similar.

A probable cast copper alloy tankard handle fragment of late Iron Age date. The oval slightly curving fragment measures 36.1mm by 30.2mm by 8.1mm and weighs 25.3g. It appears to be the central section from a tankard handle which was originally broadly similar to example h on plate 230 of Jope's 'Early Celtic Art in the British Isles'. This example, which is from Stoke Abbott, Dorset, has two trumpet-like terminals for attachment to a wooden vessel, each with an adjacent openwork loop which in turn adjoined an oval central section. The Haversham Cum Little Linford example is decorated w…

A fragment of sheet copper alloy binding from a wooden vessel of probable Roman date. The fragment measures 46.8mm by 25mm by 1.1mm and weighs 2.8g. It is decorated with repoussé motifs consisting of a single line of dots along the top and bottom and running transverse zigzags in between. The upper edge has been folder backwards and several of the adjacents dots are perforated. A broadly similar fragment has been found in a Roman context at Woodeaton, Oxfordshire (Bagnall Smith 1998, p. 179, no. 17.4, fig. 11).

Part of a cast copper alloy leg from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. The leg is flat in cross section with convex rounded edges and a flat front and back. The leg terminates in a rounded but plain end with no clear 'foot', at the top is an old break. There are traces of sooting on the front. This is possibly an example of Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) Type 'a', lacking the foot. This type was widespread in the Medieval period with examples known into the early 17th century.

The trapzoidal drop handle and the moulded knob that fitted it onto the metal bowl or chaffing dish. The shaped, lower half of the handle is damaged. The loop of the handle is cast with a rectangular section and finished with a file, which has left striations on the surface. It is possible that these handles come from drawers or chests (see Margeson 1993 p78)
