A cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval date (1300 - 1500). The leg is sub-rectangular in plan and cross section. It tapers slightly from the top to the base. The top of the foot is uneven and would have been soldered to the body of the vessel. The foot expands at the very base; this forms a wide foot which would improve the stability of the vessel. The angle of the leg, when the foot is placed on a horizontal surface, is approximately 80°. The leg measures 29.9mm in length, has a maximum width of 17.2mm, a maximum th…

Much clipped contemporary copy (possibly from a continental source) of a silver short cross penny of King John, Class Va. The reasons that this may be a forgery is the very large and atypical coarse portrait on the obverse and the combination of moneyer and mint on the reverse. There is not a moneyer whose initials start WA[...]E at the mint at Exeter ([E]X on reverse of coin). It is therefore suggested that this coin is a contemporary forgery and formed from elements taken from several coins of the period.

The upper part of the foot flares to form a wide semi-circular pad whose inner surface is concave. This widest piece would have been soldered to the body of the vessel.

The breaks are relatively fresh – suggesting relatively modern damage. There is no decoration present, however the outer edge is heavily corroded and has a black carbon stained appearance. The fragment is a mid green colour with an uneven corroded and slight…
