Description: | A cast copper alloy zoomorphic pot leg or mount from a bronze vessel. The pot leg is cast in the shape of the head and front feet of a dog. The ears, fur and mouth of the animal are depicted by cast incised lines. On the underside of the object a deep groove runs between the two legs of the animal. There are two paired notches on the sides of the animals? legs. The reverse of the object is flat.
The object is cast integrally with a rectangular sectioned element, which begins halfway along the back of the animal and terminates in a break which is worn. This is probably the point at which the object was attached to the vessel. The surface is slightly worn with a deep mid green patina. The breaks are all worn. The object is medieval to post medieval in date. | 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: | 1350
