Description: | A leg from a copper alloy medieval or post-medieval cooking vessel. It is roughly triangular in form, with a highly pointed outer end and a straight break at the inner end where it would have attached to the vessel. A raised rib runs down the centre of the outer face. It is dark grey in colour with a shiny patina in places. Roderick Butler (pers. comm.) comments that at present we can only date fragments of cauldrons broadly, as largely the same design was in use from the 12th to the 18th century. However, by the 17th century feet tend to be of the later collared type, suggesting a Medieval or early Post-Medieval date at the latest for this vessel.Length: 31.84mm, width: 24.32mm, thickness: 7.1mm, weight: 14.65g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
