Description: | A cast copper alloy cauldron foot (overall length: 35mm; width at base of foot: 47mm; thickness at base of foot: 34mm). The foot has been broken from the rest of the vessel or vessel leg at the top where the it tapers to a smaller area (length: 14mm; width: 34mm). The foot splays outwards into three protruding paws or toes. One of these has been badly corroded. The overall condition of the artefact is fair with some highly concentrated areas of corrosion down the front of the foot and down the paws. It weighs 153.16g and may have been used to support quite a substantial vessel. A similar example has been found during the Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-8 (Margeson, 1993) and was dated between 1550-1620 AD. | Subjects: | cauldron | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
