Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment: a leg probably from a cauldron. The foot is trapezoidal in shape with two prominent 'toes' emerging from the back of the foot at obtuse angles. Between them is a third 'toe' which protrudes while the others taper to the leg. The foot forms an obtuse angle with the leg of approximately 120 degrees. The object has been heavily damaged and broken around the point where the foot meets the leg. The leg itself appears to have a cable of metal integral to it, perhaps indicating a method of construction. There is no discernable decoration on the fragment. Probably early post-medieval in date. | 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: | 1500
