Description: | A leg from a cast copper alloy cooking vessel of medieval or post-medieval date. The leg measures 45.8mm in length, 23.6mm in width and 14mm in thickness. It weighs 65g. The cross-section is D-shaped, with a flat undecorated back and a curving front. The D-shaped base is rounded and at a near right-angle to the rest of the leg. From the base the leg narrows gradually but widens again briefly after about 20mm. Below the wider section there are two worn 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 form suggest that it came from a post-medieval skillet.
