Description: | Copper alloy leg and foot from a vessel. At the top of the leg the metal is splayed outwards on one side. The break is roughly oval in section and very smooth on the interior. There is a whitish deposit on the break which may well be a lead solder. The leg is pentagonal in cross-section; the face at the front and the back is faceted and very narrow, whereas the sides are much wider. The foot has a slight ridge to it before terminating with four rounded toes or claws. The underside of the foot is concave. The heel of the foot is also concave so that when the foot is stood up there is an arch beyond the toes.
This fairly delicate cast leg could be from a variety of vessels, including ewers or skillets and is most likely to be medieval or post medieval in date | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
