Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval date (1300 - 1500). The leg is sub-rectangular in plan and lentoid in cross section. The fragment measures 17.8mm in length, has a maximum width of 24.9mm, a maximum thickness of 12.1mm and it weighs 20.25 grams.
The fragment is not decorated. It is a mid-light green colour with an uneven powdery patina. This patina has been abraded in several places, probably through movement in the soil. This movement has also damaged the edges of the leg producing an asymmetrical shape. In the areas where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion is present. This affects approximately 20% of the leg. Similar examples of feet from copper alloy vessels have been dated to the later medieval period (1300 - 1500). | 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: | 1300
