Description: | The foot is from a cast copper alloy vessel, probably a cooking vessel. In plan, at the base, the foot is trapezoidal. In profile the foot and leg form a sub-triangle with a concave angled exterior face, and an obliquely angled reverse face. The upper edge is broken, possibly recently as there is not a well developed patina over the break. The broken surface is an elongated oval in section. The exterior face is has a vertical ridge as decoration. The base, reverse and exterior surfaces of the foot has traces of a black substance which may be a carbon build up from a fire. The foot measures 34.27mm tall, 46.89mm wide across the foot and 26.4mm thick. It weighs 150.9g.
These cooking vessels, according to Geake H. (2001 Finds Recording Guide unpublished), date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.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: | 1400
