Description: | The object is probably a leg/foot off a cast copper alloy cooking vessel. In plan the leg is a sub-rectangle with a slightly bulbous foot. In section the leg is an oval and in profile the leg is angle at c. 45 degrees on the front face, but is vertical on the reverse. The upper edge of the leg is broken, but not recently. The base of the foot is an oval in plan. The surface of the leg has a patchy mid green patina with traces of a black deposit, possibly carbon/soot.
The leg measures 38.78mm long, 38.83mm wide and 28.67mm thick across the foot. It weighs 135.44g.
Copper alloy cooking vessels, according to Geake (2001 Finds Recording Guide), date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries. | Subjects: | Leg/foot Cooking | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
