Description: | A leg from a cast copper alloy cooking vessel of medieval or post-medieval date. The leg measures 77.1mm in length, 22.8mm in width and 14.9mm in thickness. It weighs 114g. 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. Just above the base the leg widens briefly. Above and below this point there are four linear vertical grooves which are equally spaced around the curving front. 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.
