Description: | A cast, copper alloy leg from a cooking vessel, probably of late Post Medieval or early Modern date. The leg is D-shaped in section with a flat back and convex front with a central raised ridge running the length of the fragment. There is an old, regular break at the upper end, although this is possibly where the foot was attached to the body, tapering to a rounded end. It is 38.8mm in length, 35.3mm in width, 13.7mm in thickness and weighs 77.13g. A parallel can be seen on this database in SOM-78C368.Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 5) suggest that this shallow, D-shaped cross section with no distinct foot (type d) is a simple design which evolve with the use of sand-casting and characteristic of 18th to 19th century skillets. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
