Bronze vessel
Comment
The metal bucket which contained the coin hoard is a deep vessel with a small footring and lugs on the rim to which the handles were originally attached. Owing to its fragmentary state when found, the original height is not known, but when reconstructed according to the proportions of a similar bucket in Nijmegen, the height is 22 cm, with the attachment adding a further 2.6 cm. The rim diameter is 22.2 cm. The Beachy Head bucket belongs to the Hemmoor type, well known on the Continent but extremely rare in Britain.
