Description: | Cast copper alloy pot leg from a cooking vessel. The leg is roughly triangular in section from side to side with the four remaining faces being sub-rectangular in shape. The front of the leg has a groove running longitudinally and is perhaps design to stylistically represent the toes of an animal foot as other detailed examples do.The leg is 49.7mm wide, 28mm high and 26.4mm from front to back. It weighs 158.7g.A rounded pot would usually have been supported by three such legs. These legs vary in design, shape and dimensions and are broadly dated from the the mid-late medieval period to the early post-medieval period (c.1350-1650) due to a lack of excavated examples from securely datable contexts.
