Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy probable vessel foot probably from a cooking vessel and dating from 1300-1600AD. This leg/foot is roughly rectangular in plan and cross-section, measuring c98mm in length, 48.9mm in width, and 17.2mm in thickness. It gets narrower and thinner towards its terminal end. The wider end, which was presumably fitted onto the vessel body, is concave and has a large V-shaped notch in the back face and two smaller parallel ones either side of a central longitudinal ridge, which runs down the length of the object, on the front face. A V-shaped hollow is therefore created in which the body of the vessel could have rested and possibly been held in place with solder, although no trace of this can be seen. All the faces of this probably vessel leg/foot have traces of a black patina, including the concave face at the wider end, this is presumably due to the object sitting in an open fire.
