Description: | Cast copper alloy pot leg and foot with an old break at the attachment end. The leg is triangular in cross section and widens forwards into a pentangle foot with short sides, flat back and triangular front. When the foot is flat the leg sits at c.60 degrees and the front is a concave curve in profile. The front has a central ridge running down the centre; the back and base are very roughly cast. There are traces of sooting on the front. It is 35.8mm long, 24.7mm wide and 22.7mm wide at its base, and it weighs 54.3g. It has a light brownish-green patina. Crude cast copper alloy cooking vessels were popular from c.1250-1650 AD. | Subjects: | pot leg | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Locke, Timothy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
