Description:
|
A small flask-shaped copper-alloy vessel with a convex front, flat back, and a pair of handles at the neck. The handles are attached to the rim at one end and the shoulders at the other. The flat back and rounded base were possibly intended to ensure that the vessel was stored in such a way that the cork was kept moist. A large piece missing from the front of the body.
A similar vessel, but lacking the flat back, was found in Surrey (PAS: SUR-FA2AB0) with the inscription OLEVM CRISM, indicating that at least one of their uses was as holy oil containers.
