Medieval or Post Medieval vessel, possibly an ewer or cooking vessel (two views in plan) |
||
| Description |
English: A cast copper alloy vessel leg and foot. In plan it is a sub-rectangle with an irregularly pointed foot and the upper terminal is also pointed. In section the leg is triangular. The foot is slightly bulbous and irregular which is probably due to use, rather than recent damage. The upper terminal, on the reverse, is obliquely angled, and this surface is smooth with broken edges. This smooth portion is a fragment of the interior of the vessel. The breaks are not recent. The majority of the legs’ surface is slightly rough, there are traces of an under developed dark green patina. The leg measures 82.75mm tall, 28.3mm wide across the foot and 20.74mm thick. It weighs 168.03g.
The length of the leg may suggest it was a fragment of a ewer rather than a cooking vessel, but this can’t be certain. Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) illustrates a ewer with similar shaped legs, Figure 130 and a cooking vessel, Figure 131. These vessels, according to Geake, date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries. |
