Description: | A copper-alloy object of probable Roman date. No exact parallel could be found but it is likely that the object is the foot from a metal vessel. The curvature of the piece suggests that it was designed to fit a circular base. It has a lip at the bottom, which would have sat underneath the base of the vessel. This lip measures 11mm wide. A plate extends upwards at approximately 90 degrees from the lip section and would have adorned the outside of the vessel. This plate is roughly symmetrical. It has a sub-rectangular lower section and a decoratively tapering upper section ending in a rounded terminal. The upper surface has three incised lines on each side of the lower sub-rectangular section and, on the upper tapering section, a pair of parallel horizontal lines, with a single horizontal line above. The inner surface of the piece has traces of a silver coloured (lead ?) solder. Overall, it measures 39.4mm wide by 31.5mm high and 11.1mm thick. It weighs 27.75g. | 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: | 43
