Saxon & Medieval — Medieval; 1300-1360
Money box
Kingston-type ware money box. It is unusual to find a pottery money box that isn't broken. This is the medieval equivalent of a piggy bank and normally they are found broken around the slot where people have tried to get the money out. Perhaps this one was never used.
It was made in the Kingston area and found in Nicholas Lane in the City of London.
