Description: | A cast copper alloy decorative vessel leg/foot. The base of the foot is rectangular in plan with the narrow edges being convex. The upper surface of the leg is obliquely angled and is broken, but not recently. The side faces of the leg are all concave. The surface of the leg has an abraded brown patina. The object measure 16.58mm long and is 13.58mm wide. It weighs 7.9g. The leg is not very tall, and is quite small and is therefore probably not a leg from a cooking vessel, instead it is more likely to be a vessel that was on display, for example salt containers (Egan, G. 1998 The Medieval Household: Daily Living c. 1150 - c. 1450 The Stationary Office: London, Figure 156) which date to the 14th to 16th century. The salt containers illustrated here are made from pewter, but the recorded foot may be found on a similar styled vessel.
