Description: | A miscast copper alloy skillet foot of probable post-medieval date. The leg measures 52.6mm by 38.1mm by 25mm and weighs 81.7g. The leg's cross-section is trapezoidal. It has a flat back and sides which flare out so that the front is wider than the back. In the centre of the front there is a projecting vertical ridge. The leg flare out from the bottom. Part of the leg is hollow and the edge is uneven, suggesting miscasting. The base, which is also uneven, contains a circular hollow about 10mm deep. Roderick Butler has commented that the leg is the result of a major casting fault, due perhaps to the presence of a dollop of clay or a pebble in the metal mix. The hole in the base may reflect an attempt to fix the leg. | Subjects: | Skillet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
