Description: | Cast copper alloy pot leg and foot. It is D shaped in section with a only slightly concave back and a convex front moulded into parallel, semi-circular sectioned ribs. The top is broken with an old break. There is a raised horizontal band half way down; above this the leg is straight with three ribs, the central one marked with five regularly spaced transverse grooves. Below the band it widens and thickens gradually to form the round based foot. This lower section has five ribs, the central one wider and more prominant and one of those at the edge almost complete lost to an old break or casting flaw. The base of the foot is almost flat and meets the back of the leg at a acute angle. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1250-1650 for serving and cooking. The piece is 56.0mm long, 18.4mm wide, 14.9mm thick and weighs 69 grams.
