A fragment of a copper-alloy vessel of medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1100 - 1850. The fragment is possibly part of the leg of a cooking vessel such as a cauldron or skillet. The leg is broadly rectangular with a D-shaped section. It is widest at the top, where it would meet the body of the vessel and tapers to a worn break. The object is undecorated. The metal has a delaminated red/green patina and is worn. The fragment is 43.8mm long, 21.6mm wide, 14mm in diameter and weighs 50.5g. These objects are very common metal detector finds and are often found heavily worn and pitted…

A fragment of a copper-alloy vessel of medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1100 - 1850. The fragment is sub-ovate with a broadly rectangular section and worn brakes to all edges. Areas of possible gilding remain on both surfaces though this may also be the brassy surface of the vessel showing through the corrosion. The metal has a light green patina and is worn. The fragment is 46.7mm long, 35mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 28.9g. These objects are very common metal detector finds and are often found heavily worn and pitted as the metal content was high in lead which leached out ov…

A complete copper-alloy zoomorphic ewer spout of medieval date, c. AD 1400 - 1500. The spout is tubular and in the form of a dog's head with the spout protruding from the open mouth. The terminal features upright ovate ears moulded to either side of the head with recessed centres. The brow is raised with no obvious eyes and slopes to a curved and rounded shout with open mouth. From the reverse of the head a narrowed neck extends widening sharply to an extended open terminal at which point the spout would have been soldered to the vessel proper.

An incomplete copper-alloy zoomorphic hooked escutcheon from an Anglo-Saxon hanging bowl of Early-Medieval date, c.AD 550 – 700. Only the terminal of the escutcheon remains which is in the form of a stylised animal head, possibly serpentine. The neck has a D-shaped section, slightly concave to the underside, and expands into a circular sectioned snout. The snout is slightly swollen and flat at the end. Raised integral ovate protrusions flank the junction between the neck and snout representing eyes. The metal has a dark brown patina and is worn. The object is 27.9mm long, 11.5…

An incomplete copper-alloy zoomorphic leg from an Aquamanile of medieval date, c.AD 1200-1400. The leg is broadly L-shaped. The foot is D-shaped in plan and section with a concave base and central groove to the upper surface given a hoof-like appearance. The heel is rounded, and a pointed ovate sectioned leg extends upward at an approximate 90-degree angle. The front of the leg curves outward while the back turns forward slightly above the front turn, as if to form a knee or joint. The object is broken at this point and the breaks are worn. No further decoration is evident. …
