Description: | A cast copper alloy cauldron/ skillet foot (length: 42.5mm; width: 41.5mm; thickness [at base of foot]: 28mm; weight: 116.33g). A simple form with flange/ ridge down the centre at the front of the foot. There are remains of heavy iron corrosion at the top of the foot where it becomes more narrow. This may indicate a possible fixing screw of attachment to fix the leg onto the main body of the cauldron? Overall, the artefact is in a poor condition due to the corrosion and wear. The leg has a light green patina.A similar example is illustrated by Margeson in 'Norwich Households: Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78', East Anglian Archaeology, 1993, page 90, figure 57, Ref no 562. Similar legs can be seen on this complete example of a skillet and were excavated from a datable context of 1507 AD. However, it is noted that these and other examples found in this deposit were 'likely to have been of considerable age in 1507' (Margeson, page 93).
