Description: | A complete cast copper alloy cauldron leg, dating to the 15th/ 16th century AD (length: 51.5mm; width at base: 62mm; thickness at base: 31mm; weight: 212.01g). This large rectangular-sectioned large paw-shaped cauldron leg/ foot has well pronounced ?toes? down the length of the artefact, from the top down to the base. The central ?toe? is highly pronounced (width: 11mm; height: approximately 9mm). The artefact slants foward in length as well as having a slanted and uneven base. The thickness and width of the leg/ foot also expand in size towards the base. The artefact is in a very worn, corroded and pitted condition with a dark green patina. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan's 'The Medieval Household: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London', 1998, pages 164 & 166, ref no 460, dating to the 15th century. Another elaborate example appears in Margeson's 'Norwich Households: Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78', 1993, pages 92-3, ref no 570,and dates to the 16th/ 17th century AD. | 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
