Description: | Well shaped cast copper alloy pot leg and foot. The leg is D shaped in section with a flat back and convex front with a raised rib running vertically down the centre of the front. The top is broken with an old break. There is a raised horizontal band on the front half way down, above this the leg is straight. Below the band it widens and projects outwards to form the flat based foot; The foot is also D shaped in section with five raised 'toes' around the front, the central one larger and more prominant. The base of the foot is flat and the plain back curves outwards slightly. Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1250-1650 for serving and cooking, in some areas they remained popular until c.1800; there are possible traces of sooting on the leg. The piece is 67.1mm long, 47.2mm wide, 27.6mm thick and weighs 268 grams. | Subjects: | Cooking 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 |
