Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel leg of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1250 - c. AD 1650). Length: 35.1mm; width: 31.8mm; thickness: 17.1mm; weight: 63.51g.The fragment is 'D'-shaped in cross-section throughout its length, convex at the front and flat at the rear. It has an old transverse break at the smaller end. The opposite end also seems to be a break but it has a large lump of copper alloy corrosion at one side.The surfaces are corroded overall and on the rear face is a small deposit of black substance which may be consolidated soot.Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001, 52).
