Context (Found together / assemblage)
This small bowl was found with three larger bowls with the idnos 1936.211 A-C. A description of the small bowl was added to the catalogue card and record for 1936.211 A-C at an unknown date. However, this bowl is not listed in the accession register entry or mentioned in the original catalogue card description for 1936.211 A-C. The small bowl was therefore assigned a TEMP number and record.

Description (Physical description)
Small bowl of cast copper alloy, possibly of brass, with a sheet metal lining. The outer layer of the bowl has a circular base with a concave centre, slightly tapered walls with pairs of perforations below the rim, and a flat rim. The lining is crumpled, and has perforations in the centre and in pairs around the top edge. Metal staples remain in two of the pairs of perforations in the lining.

Context (Analysis)
The original description for this object lists '2 small bowls', comprising one cast bowl with a 'second bowl forced into it', with 'some signs of piercing so that both could be joined'. On closer visual inspection, it appears that the piercing or perforations in the 'outer bowl' align with the perforations in the 'inner bowl', and there are staples that were likely used to attach the two 'bowls' together. It therefore appears that the object is in fact a single bowl, comprising a cast metal outer layer with an inner lining of sheet metal. The Short Description and Number fields have been updated accordingly.
