A copper-alloy artefact, most probably a Handle for a vessel lid of late Post Medieval date.It measures 25.70mm from top to bottom . From the centre of the underside of its circular base, is the stub of an integral rivet which would have held the Handle and a lid together. The rivet head is slightly oval, and measures 7.80mm x 7.11mm and it projects 2mm from the base. The Handle base measures 15.64mm in diameter , upward from which a short stem supports a bulbous feature . The feature has a diameter of 20.12mm, and a thickness of 9.91mm. On its top is a centrally sited p…

Copper alloy possible vessel fragment. A fragment of thin sheet with one straight edge, curved at its ends and thinned and broken along its remaining long edge. Two holes appear to have been punched from the same side. Black material forms a coating on either side; this might arise from the post-medieval treatment of metalwork with oil or lacquer, or more probably from sooting if this object had indeed formed part of a vessel used over the hearth. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500 Length: 25.1mm, Width: 13mm, Thickness: 1.2mm, Weight: 1.86gms

Copper alloy vessel repair clip. A small straight-sided, possibly rhomboid, strip of copper alloy sheet of thickness 0.6mm with pointed ends, folded sharply four times [and now with one end rolled over]. Traces of a black coating appear on one side. Slightly curved in profile. This form of repair was inserted to mend a split in a wooden vessel, to grip it firmly on either side of the crack. The coating of objects with oil or lacquer is thought to have been a treatment favoured in the early post-medieval period. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700. Length: 20.9mm, Width: 12.8…

A circular-shaped knop protrudes from the upper surface. The underside of the object is relatively flat but rather pitted and uneven, and has a slightly raised rectangular protrusion positioned slightly inside one of the corners along the shorter edge. The object has a patchy green patina on most surfac…
