Description: | A cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval or post medieval date (1300 - 1600). The leg is sub-triangular / wedge shaped in plan and cross section. It tapers from the top to a blunted broken point in the lower half. The upper section has a distinct U shaped hollow where it would have been fixed to the base of the vessel. There is no decoration on the foot at all. The leg is a mid green colour with an uneven patina. This patina has been abraded in several places, probably through movement in the soil. This movement has also damaged the edges of the leg producing an asymmetrical shape. In the areas where abrasion has occurred a light green active powdery corrosion is present.The leg measures 32.1mm in length, has a maximum width of 50.5mm at the top and a minimum width of 37.1mm at the base, a maximum thickness of 34.2mm top and 16.4mm at base. It weighs 201.29 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
