A copper Alloy bowl from Holme Church Lane, Beverley (OSA04 EV01)

Abstract

The bowl is ** mm diameter and ** mm tall. It is made from sheet metal and was probably beaten over a wooden former and then spun on a lathe to produce the finished appearance. This is the standard method for producing shallow sheet metal vessels. If the vessel is too deep or has a closed profile then the vessel would have to have been made in several parts and riveted together. There is no evidence for any such riveting nor for any repair and there is evidence for lathe turning, in the form of parallel lines on the walls in the vertical x-ray plates, caused by slight variations in thickness. There any evidence from the x-radiographs for decoration, although shallow incision would only be visible by eye.
