In section (horizontal section) the leg is a sub-trapezoidal shape. The base of the foot is a blunt point, with rounded edges and irregular surface.
The upper edge is broken, but not recently.
The surface of the leg is slightly pitted with corrosion, and has a black soot deposit on the outer and inner surfaces. There are patches of a heavy green/brown patina.
