Description: | A cast copper alloy cooking vessel leg and foot. The base of the foot is triangular and the leg is obliquely angled from the foot and is also triangular in section. The upper edge of the leg is broken, this is not a recent break. Both the front and reverse faces have traces of a heavy black deposit which is probably a sooty/carbon deposit. Otherwise the surface has a mottled mid green abraded surface. The leg measures 20.98mm tall, and 28.5mm wide. It weighs 50.3g. The carbon deposit may suggests the vessel was a skillet or cauldron. Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Unpublished) suggests such vessels were used from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
