A fragment probably from the rim of a copper alloy cooking vessel, probably of Medieval to post-Medieval date, about AD 1100 - 1900. Only a small portion of the rim survives, too small to estimate the rim diameter. The remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn and patinated. The rim is thickened and slightly everted. The fragment has a dark grey patina. The outer face is dark uneven with sooting, which suggests it is from a vessel rather than a bell. The inner face is smooth. It is 30.8mm wide, 27mm high and 4.7mm thick. 9.3g. https:/…
