Description: | Copper alloyVessel fragment. Cast cauldron leg and part of the vessel wall (of thickness 3.8mm) to which it was attached as an integral casting. The object is of concavo-convex section with a protruding rib on the outer side - as mounted - opposite a corresponding hollow. It was either cast, or more probably reshaped, with a pointed foot. The metal is heavily sooted externally and is partially delaminated around its unusual foot. The modification probably improved the stability of a vessel, possibly after it was damaged by intense heat. The pattern of damage suspected resembles that on another object reported from nearby along with this example, NLM-338D94. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500.Length: 49.8mm, Width: 34.5mm, Thickness: 17.8mm, Weight: 91.93gms.
