Description: | A cast copper alloy foot and part of a leg from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. The leg is wide and thin and broadly trapezoidal in cross section with a wider front than back. The leg curves outwards at the front to form the foot which has a flat trapezoidal base. The leg rises at c.70 degrees from the base. The front corners of the foot are rounded and there is an old break at the top of the leg.Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) suggest that this form of pot leg (type A) was widespread in the Medieval period with examples still in use into the early 17th century.
