Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy vessel fragment. Concavo-convex cast fragment from a pouring spout or lip of a vessel. The outside bears remains of a stepped surface, possibly close to one end and presumably part of a decorative scheme. The thickness of the object tends to rule out an identification as a shard from piping, and its surface is bubbled, suggesting exposure to intense heat. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 43-1650. Length: 27.5mm, Width: 19.6mm, Thickness: c.3.4mm, Weight: 8.13gms.
