Title
Medieval cooking vessel: ewer or skillet (profile).
Description
English: Medieval (14th to 15th century) vessel leg, probably an ewer: The copper alloy leg is an elongated inverted trapezoid when view from the profile face, with the upper edge being obliquely angled. The terminal of this face forms a portion of the interior of the vessel and the edges are broken and abraded. In plan the leg is a elongated trapezoid, and in section it is a sub-oval use reverse face is flat. The surface of the leg has an abraded light grey/green surface. The leg measures 46.68mm from the base of the toe to the upper surface and 15.16mm wide across the upper edge. It weighs 23.5g.

It is uncertain what type of vessel this leg comes from, but Egan (1998) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. Due to its slight elegance the leg may be that of an ewer or skillet. Egan (ibid) illustrates a similar shaped leg in Figure 130, which is part of a tripod ewer. Tripod ewers can date to the 14th to 15th century (Lewis 1991)
