Description: | Cast copper alloy pot leg and foot. It is D shaped in section with a flat back and convex front moulded into parallel, semi-circular sectioned ribs. The top is broken with an old break. There is a raised horizontal band half way down, above this the leg is straight with four ribs. Below the band it widens and thickens gradually to form the flat based foot; this lower section has five ribs. The base of the foot is highly smoothed, presumably from use. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1250-1650 for serving and cooking; there are possible traces of sooting on the upper part of the leg. The piece is 58.1mm long, 26.5mm wide, 12.8mm thick and weighs 80 grams. | Subjects: | leg and foot | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
