Description: | A cast copper-alloy cooking vessel, the foot and a leg fragment survive, measuring 52.4mm in total height, and 40mm in width, incomplete due to an old break. The leg is rectangular in plan and triangular in cross-section with a flat back face. There is a longitudinal ridge down the centre of the front face of the leg which terminates in the bulbous middle claw of the zoomorphic foot. The foot has two other triangular shaped claws/toes, one to either side of the central more rounded one. The front surface of the leg is covered in a matt black coating, due to sooting, this implies that this cooking vessel fragment is either from a cauldron or a skillet. Cast copper-alloy cooking vessels were in use from the second half of the 13th century until c1600. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1250
