Title
profile of ewer leg
Description
English: Cast copper alloy leg from a ewer, with a rounded section of the body of the ewer at the top end of the leg, which is 32 mm in diameter, and an extended foot at the other end, which is 26 mm long and 11 mm wide and 9 mm thick. The leg is L-shaped in profile and sub-triangular in section. The leg is 68 mm long, 21 mm wide and 21.8 mm thick.
Lewis, Brownsword and Pitt (1987), in their paper on Medieval Bronze Tripod Ewers from Wales, in Medieval Archaeology Vol.XXXI, illustrate similar examples on page 85, Fig.2, Nos.2-5, which are dated to the 14th or early 15th century.

Read (1988) illustrates part of a similar leg on page 96, No.594, which is dated from the 13th to the 17th century.
Bailey (DF3) illustrates a similar example on page 36, No.8, which is not dated, but is said to be the leg from a ewer.
