Description: | The objects are two leg/feet of a cooking vessel or vessels. The legs are the same style, but the surface condition is slightly different, therefore it cannot be confirmed they are from the same vessel. These cooking vessels, according to Geake, date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
The first leg is cast copper alloy. In plan it is an inverted sub-trapezoid, the lower corners are rounded and one is damaged, in antiquity. The upper surface is a broken edge, but not recently. In profile the foot forms a sub-triangular shape. There is a vertical ridge on the outer face of the foot as decoration. This foot is 55.81mm long, 54.84mm wide and 23.22mm thick (including the central ridge). The surface is mottled with a light green patina and a sooty deposit. It weighs 108.8g.
The second leg is similar to the first, with a vertical ridge as decoration, triangular shaped profile and the upper broken edge. The surface is a less corroded and abraded surface, but with a sooty deposit. The leg measures 36.38mm long, 48.08mm wide and 19.95mm thick. It weighs 216g.
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
