Description: | A copper alloy medieval vessel foot. It is a complete leg and foot, 83.37mm in length, with a triangular section. The foot is set at an angle of c.60 degrees, and there is a ridge with grooves on either side, running the length of the outside edge of the leg/foot. There is a transverse ridge at the narrowest point 15mm from the base. The foot would have attached to a tripod cauldron or skillet, and the upper terminal is curved to accommodate the body of the vessel. It measures 20.97mm in width across the foot and 25.4mm at the upper terminal, and weighs 122.1g.Examples from medieval London suggest an early fifteenth century date for this type of vessel.
