Description: | Cast copper-alloy leg from a post-medieval metal skillet dating to the 18th or 19th centuries. It has a D-shaped cross-section and widens gradually from the base to the point where it meets the body of the vessel, a small part of which has been been preserved at the top of the leg. The leg would have been one of three on a complete vessel. The leg measures 53.9mm by 27.3mm by 20.3mm and weighs 95g. This fragment has been published as a good example of a tapering leg of shallow D-shaped cross-section with no foot. The authors comment that 'this simple design came into universal use in association with sand-casting and is therefore characteristic of all 18th- and 19th-century skillets' (Butler et al 2009, 5-6, fig. 4d).
