Title
IOW-A02461 Medieval Ewer Leg/Foot
Description
English: A Medieval cast-copper leg/foot from a ewer (water jug), c. AD 1300-c. 1500.

This leg is one of three that would have been integral with the base of the vessel. The inside face of the leg is flat and the outside face is faceted to form an irregular pentagonal shape in cross-section. Immediately above the foot there is a prominent horizontal ridge. This does not extend around to the rear face. The foot has four facets at the front and is slightly hollow on the underside.
The break at the top is old. It has a shiny dark green patina overall.
59.99 x 23.46 x 20.06mm. Weight: 90.53g.

This ewer leg/foot dates from the 14th or 15th century. The vessel would have been used to hold water for hand-washing (Lewis 1987).
