Medieval vessel: Foot of a ewer |
||
| Description |
English: A Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy leg/foot from a copper-alloy vessel, probably a jug or ewer dating to c. AD 1400 - 1600. The leg is six sided with a broad flat back, sides which angle out then in again and a narrow flat front. The leg is straight with an old break at the upper end and turned out at the base into a foot with widens and thins gradually away from the leg. There is a collar running cross the front and front facets of the sides at the junction of the foot and leg. The foot is also six sided in section at the heel but the lower facets of the sides narrow and it becomes trapezoid in section at the toe where it angles down, thinning more abruptly to the point. The base of the foot is flat and when placed on a flat surface the foot sits at an angle of c.75°. In form the object bears similarities with an example illustrated in Egan (1998, 164, 166; ref: 459) and can be dated to the later part of the Medieval period. A similar vessel leg found at Bedern, York excavations (Ottaway & Rogers 2002, 2809) has been dated from the late 15th to early 16th century. |
