Description: | Fragment of cast copper-alloy leg from a cauldron, with internal chamfered edge with two carinations, and external mid-rib. The colour of the copper alloy under the corrosion layer is somewhat grey, suggesting that it may have a higher tin content than the usual percentage. The texture is also brittle which may be due to too much tin in the mix.
Butler and Green (2003) illustrate cauldron feet of a similar style on page 154-6, Nos.159-161, which are dated to the 17th century. | Subjects: | leg | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
