Description: | Complete cast copper alloy leg from a vessel of Post Medieval date. (AD 1500 - AD 1700). Length 17mm, width 42mm and 37mm thick. Weight 46.64g.The underside is symmetrical in plan and consists of four solid integral moulded elements. Two of the elements are opposed and each is pyramidal in form. The other two elements are also opposed and are in the form of three sided cones and each of these made contact. These two elements made contact with the surface whilst the vessel was resting on a flat surface, whilst the other two elements would not have made contact due to their shorter length. A small portion of the vessel body has survived and this slopes downwards slightly, indicating perhaps, that this is part of the belly of the vessel. The edges of the whole object are in the form of old breaks. The underside of the foot is largely covered with a dark to mid-green patina. Most of the interior surface has a thick deposit of soot. The object is in fair condition.
