Description: | A probable cast copper alloy cooking vessel foot. In plan it is a sub-oval with a rounded foot and slightly tapering sides towards the upper broken edge. This break is not recent. In profile the reverse of the leg is straight whereas the front face is slightly concave. In section the leg is a thick crescent shape. The surface is abraded and has traces of a black deposit which is probably a sooty/carbon deposit. The leg measures 35.19mm tall and 43.37mm wide across the foot. It weighs 178g. These cooking vessels, according to Geake, mainly date from the mid 13th to 16th centuries. Butler and Green (2003 English Bronze Cooking Vessels and Their Founders 1350-1830 Acanthus Press) illustrate vessels with a similar legs dating to the mid 18th century.
