Heavily worn but otherwise complete Roman copper-alloy object in the form of an anthropomorphic bust, cast in one piece. It is probably a mount from a vessel and the figure depicted is likely to be the sun god Sol. The head is set back a little from the shoulders and chest and is framed by a disc-shaped nimbus. No facial features or other surface decoration survive, apart from traces of three or four radial grooves on the front of the nimbus. On the reverse surface is rough and may have traces of solder adhering. There is a bulge in the centre of the nimbus corresponding to the rear o…

Medieval to post-medieval copper-alloy leg from a cooking vessel. All faces and edges are heavily worn. The top is a break but the base seems like it might be original. The sides have probably lost some of their original edges, especially towards the base, either through breakage and abrasion or just abrasion. Viewed from the front the fragment is very loosely sub-rectangular, longer at the sides than the top and bottom, and all four edges referred to above being irregularly convex. In transverse cross-section it is sub-triangular: concave at the rear with a central apex separating t…

Medieval or post-medieval copper-alloy leg from a cooking vessel. It is rectangular when viewed from the front or rear and generally trapezoidal in transverse cross-section, having two broad faces (front and reverse) and two narrow faces (the sides). The reverse is the narrower of the two broad faces. It is flat transversely but slightly convex longitudinally. The front is the widest face and is divided into two slightly concave facets by a prominent central longitudinal ridge. The leg expands very slightly in width from the worn break at the top to the flat base. It also expands or f…

Body sherd of Roman greyware pottery decorated, above or below a plain band, with two or more horizontal rows of 10mm-diameter annular impressions within each of which the surface has been irregularly raised to a peak in a manner which might be described as rustication. This suggests that the implement used to form the impressions was a flat surface with a raised circular projection rather than an open ring, and that the clay momentarily adhered to this surface as the tool was withdrawn. Weight 5g. Mid 1st - 2nd century.

Incomplete medieval to post medieval foot from a cooking vessel such as a posnet or skillet dating to the period c. AD 1300 - 1700. The leg has a worn break at the top, showing a trapezoidal cross-section. The leg is rectangular with an angled out-turned foot with rounded edges. Traces of sooting are visible across the surface. The vessels to which these were attached were usually of a tripod form and were widely used from circa AD 1200-1700 for serving and cooking.
