I seem to find one of these every few months and I got to be honest I quite like finding them, although I am still waiting for one with the pot attached! Grin

Here four posted below - all made of bronze (I do have one lead one somewhere). Any idea on the ages of them?

Also heres a photo of how they should look in situ.

Cheers

The one on the bottom right looks as if it has been made up to replace a missing one, I have found one in the past where someones finger was used as a blank to make a spare leg

UKDFD states, "circa 13th to 17th century, but vessel fragments of this type are difficult to date closely".
