A bowl of pewter or some other soft white metal alloy. Distorted and crumpled but possibly circular in original form. The sides are plain but decorated with three equidistantly placed 'faces', either stylised human or leonine, that appear to be separate pieces of metal joined to the outer surface of the body. The lip is patterned with a reapeating bead or 'U' shaped design. The metal at the bottom of the body is thin and worn, and multiple holes and a crack are present. Indented areas along with the sunken areas of the design are all filled with possible white lead oxides.
