Description: | A Medieval copper alloy fragment of a tripod vessel probably a cauldron (c.1200-c.1500). The fragment comprises part of one of the feet. The foot has a concavo-convex section with the reverse hollowed and the front angular with a prominent midrib. The basal end is rounded and although worn there appears to be at least one groove possibly designed to represent a paw. The break has the same pale green patina as the rest of the surface suggesting that the break occurred in antiquity.
A similar example was found in London on a site that ranged from 1250-1440 (Egan 1198:164-166 no.460).
Dimensions: length: 71.32mm; width: 33.35mm; thickness: 16.12mm; weight: 140.19g.
