Description: | Complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy pot leg and foot, 1200-1700 AD. The leg is triangular in section with flat back, angled sides and a prominent ridge running vertically down the centre of the front. The foot does not extend outwards, the leg simply terminates in a flat bottom. The pot leg is 38.7mm long and 35.8mm wide; it weighs 88.0 grams. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'
