Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel foot of Medieval to post-Medieval date (c. 1250 - c. 1650). The foot is sub-triangular in cross-section throughout its length and each corner is rounded. At the front the foot is faceted longitudinally and the rear face is flat. The base is slightly rounded and at the top there is an old transverse break. At the base the width is 24.3mm and at the break the width is 17.2mm. The pitted and uneven surfaces have a patchy dark brown patina although this is lost in places. Small areas of a darker substance may be consolidated soot. Consequently, the foot may have belonged to a cooking vessel. However, this is uncertain. 36.5 x 24.3 x 11.4mm. Weight: 45.82g.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).
