Description: | The tip of a foot from a cast copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval date (1300 - 1600). The fragment is broadly sub-rectangular in plan expanding slightly from the top to the base. In cross section it is sub-triangular shape. The upper edge of the foot is broken with an uneven but patinated surface. The foot is a mid 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 producing an asymmetrical shape. In the areas where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion is present. A black surface is also present which is likely to be a carbonised (soot) deposit from use. Similar examples of feet from copper alloy vessels have been dated to the later medieval period (1300 - 1600).The fragment measures 17.6mm in length, has a maximum width of 20.0mm, a maximum thickness of 10.8mm and it weighs 11.09 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
