Description: | The object is a cast copper alloy vessel leg, which is thought to date to the 13th to 17th centuries. In plan the object is sub-rectangular while in cross-section the object is semi-circular, with a concave front face and a flat reverse. In profile the top of the object where the leg was attached to the vessel, is obliquely angled and slightly concave. Possibly the leg was attached to a rounded vessel such as a cauldron, hence the slightly concave top. The base of the leg has rounded corners due to wear, as the leg does not have a separate foot attached. The leg is undecorated. The top of the leg is dark grey-green in colour, while the base of the leg which is heavily abraded is light green in colour. The object is 46.6mm at its longest point, 33.0mm at its widest point, 16.6mm at its thickest point and weighs 70.64g. | 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
