Description: | The foot is from a cast copper alloy vessel, probably a cooking vessel. In plan, at the base the foot is trapezoidal with a central small triangle protruding from the longest edge. This triangular protrusion forms a vertical ridge on the exterior face. The exterior face is obliquely angled. None of the leg remains and the broken face is not a recent break as it has a mid grey/green patina. The base of the foot has traces of a black substance which may be a carbon build up from a fire. The sides of the foot have more recent damage, fresh shiny metal is revealed. The surface of the foot is slightly pitted, and has an incomplete grey/green patina.
The foot measures 18.84mm tall, 44.87mm wide across the foot and 27.92mm thick. It weighs 80.1g.
These cooking vessels, according to Geake H. (2001 Finds Recording Guide unpublished), date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries. Egan, G. (2005 Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition MoLAS Monograph 19) illustrate a similar slightly crude leg, No. 454 and dates it to the 15th to 16th century. | 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
