Description: | Late medieval/ post medieval incomplete copper alloy leg and foot from a cauldron. It is rectangular in section at the break (20x13mm), with a rib at the mid point of the outer edge, running to the foot where it stops. The break is curious because it appears to show that the leg was hollow. A rectangular area at the centre of the section (13x6mm) is half filled with copper alloy and half with another substance, white in colour - the remains of a core? On the inner face of the leg a broken rectangular projection 5x6mm extends. This is possibly just conincidental and to do with the way the leg has broken.The shorter sides in section are slightly concave. To the front especially, the edges are rounded and rib-like. The foot is basically rectangular though a bit lop sided, one corner being larger than ther others. It is also not flat on the underside. It measures 26x22mm. The foot is covered, underside as well, with a black residue that is not apparant on the rest of the leg.The leg stands 42mm tall (incomplete height).
