Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper-alloy pot leg, dating to c.1200-1650 AD. The leg is triangular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section with a flat front and convex back and a central raised rib running down the front. It has an old irregular break at the upper end. The leg widens forwards at the base to create the plain triangular foot. It measures 28.2mm in height, 27.9mm wide, 28.5mm thick; it weighs 92 grams.Crudely made cast copper-alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler et al. (2009:4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is an example of type A which they suggest was widespread in the medieval period with some examples continuing into the early 17th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
