Description: | A copper alloy vessel leg, probably from an ewer, dating from the late medieval or early post medieval period. The leg is 54.1mm long, 31.1mm wide and 18.9mm thick. It is semi-circular in section and the front is fluted. The foot turns outwards and is semi-circular with a flat base. Slight traces of silvering or tinning survive, indicating that the leg was from a decorative vessel rather than a cooking pot. Parallels of ewers with three legs can be seen in the Finds Research Group Datasheet 7; Bronze Aquamaniles and Ewers (1987) by J M Lewis. They date from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
