Title
bird feeder (profile)
Description
English: Cast lead alloy bird feeder or water trough, D-shaped in plan and section with the flat side designed to fit on the wall or the side of a cage. The base of the feeder is also flat and the body flares upward from the base, with a flanged rim. The object is undecorated, apart from a series of parallel bands, below the expanded rim, and therefore could date from the 16th to the 17th century as decorated examples tend to be earlier in date. The metal surface is worn and cracked with a layer of corrosion and several indentations and gashes from more recent damage.

Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 128, No.811, which is dated from the 16th to the 17th century.

Egan (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 129, No.617, which is unstratified, but others are dated from the 16th and 17th centuries.
