Title
Medieval Vessel Rim Fragment (External view).
Description
English: The object is a rim fragment of a probable vessel which Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide, Version 1.1; August 2001) attributes to the 13th to 17th centuries. The object is made of cast copper alloy and is incomplete. 
 


  In plan the object is sub-rectangular, with one edge obliquely angled.  The upper rim is the only unbroken edge of the object.  In cross-section the rim is sub-oval in shape, tapering to a blunt point or ‘^’ shape at its edge.  In profile the object is slightly curvaceous, making the external face slightly convex and the internal face slightly concave.  In profile one can see that damage has occurred along the bottom broken edge (not recently) of the fragment where the internal face has been bent slightly outwards.
The external face of the rim has traces of a shiny dark grey-black patina; otherwise the object is dark grey-green in colour. The measurement is 41.9mm at its longest point, 44.9mm at its widest point and 3.2mm at the thickest part of the rim. The weight of the object is 17.83g and the diameter is 15.0mm.
