Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy foot from a Medieval to Post-Medieval cooking vessel. Only the base of the foot survives, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It is triangular in form and profile, terminating at the top of the foot in old breaks. What remains of the leg is triangular in section and has a transverse moulded ridge on the front face separating the foot from the leg. Beneath the ridge the foot expands and is triangular in form with a flat underside and five moulded vertical ridges on the front face probably intended to represent toes, the foot itself being zoomorphic (lion?) in nature. It measures 38.83mm in height, 40.17mm in width, 40.09mm in thickness (at base), and weighs 114.31g. This is a cast copper-alloy foot from a cooking vessel of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. Similar examples from London (Egan, 1998: no. 460) and Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 570) suggest a 15th-17th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
