Roman copper alloy trulleus
Trulleus, complete but with handle bent and broken, probably in antiquity. The handle, slightly waisted, has a straight end with trefoil piercing; the bowl, with central boss and single concentric ring on base, bears clear marks of the lathe inside and preserves traces of tinning. This probably is of Gaulish manufacture.
