A jet with shaped channels derived from a careful operation of casting in bronze. The puddled surface presents a blackish-brown patina overlying a thick layer of verdegris. This surface is ovate, some 35x39mm, but with one area of the oval circumference omitted. The underside of this 'puddle' is convex, representing the depression in the clay or other mould material which was filled with molten metal. From this convex surface proceed or depend two symmetrical 'horns' or legs, curving outward and away from each other, ovoid in section and about 13mm in girth, terminating in oblique vert…

Copper-alloy sprue cap waster with remains of four casting runners and with two distinctly coloured remnants of fired clay between the runners. From the underside, a straight line clearly separates the differently coloured clays, with about two-thirds being of a rusty red-brown and dark brown, the other third being a pale grey-brown. A smaller area of this paler clay lies between the runners and the top of the sprue cap. The copper alloy is patinated a medium to dark green. It is impossible to be sure of the date, but the sprue cap itself is paralleled by numerous examples used for…
