Description: | The object is the leg/foot of a cooking vessel. These cooking vessels, according to Geake, date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
The leg is cast copper alloy. In plan it is an inverted sub-trapezoid, the lower corners are rounded. The upper surface is obliquely angled and slightly curvaceous, as it is the interior of the cooking vessel. The edges of this surface are broken, but not recently. The interior surface is smooth, with two larger scratches, but these are not too recent. The vertical faces of the leg are undecorated and have traces of a carbon deposit. The surface of the leg has a patina which is mottled from dark green to mid green.
The leg measures 60.02mm tall, 54.23mm wide and 27.9mm thick. It weighs 149.6g. | 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: | 1200
