Title
Vessel fragment from Crowle
Description
English: Copper alloy

Vessel fragment. Cast circular base fragment from a cylindrical vessel of composite construction with a 55mm diameter. The object has been torn, losing about one third of its area, and either introducing or emphasising a slightly bowed or concavo-convex profile. The convex face appears slightly paler around its edge, to a depth of circa 4mm, which appears to indicate where this element was formerly joined to a vessel wall - of what material is uncertain.

The size of this object is close to that of an Anglo-Saxon 'work box', a form of cylindrical copper alloy container whose component parts are often found sealed together. However, Roman period material found along with this object probably provides a more apt date. In particular, this may form the base of a copper alloy vessel with enamel decoration whose three fragments (FAKL-9900E3) were reported along with this object. The similar Winterton bowl (NLM-F50443) was found with a complete body but lacking its separate base, so such composite bowls may have been liable to disintegration wjhen the brazing joining body and base failed. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400.

Diameter: 55mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 20.72gms.
