Description: | A large leg from a cast bronze vessel, dating to the medieval to post-medieval periods (circa 1350-1850).
The leg is long and wide with five raised ribs running down the length of the leg. Two of the ribs are on the edge of the leg. Between the ribs shallow concave facets has been created on the front surface of the leg.
The foot has a flattened base. Up from the foot there is a transverse moulded collar running around the front of the leg.
The reverse of the foot is flat and un-moulded.
The leg has broken off from a larger vessel and the break is very worn and corroded.
The metal has lost much of its original surface; the metal is a mid brownish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
