Description: | A leg from a cast copper alloy cooking vessel of medieval or post-medieval date. The leg measures 48mm in length, 25.5mm in width and 13.8mm in thickness. It weighs 65.4g. The cross-section is D-shaped, with a flat undecorated back and a curving front. The D-shaped base is flat and at a right angle to the rest of the leg. From the base the leg narrows gradually but widens again briefly after about 30mm. Below this point there are five linear vertical grooves which are equally spaced around the curving front. The linear grooves also appear above the wider point but here they are more worn. This leg would have been one of three on the complete vessel. Its dimensions and hoof-like form suggest that it came from a post medieval skillet.
