Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel foot of Medieval to post-Medieval date (c. 1250 - c. 1650).The leg is generally sub-triangular in cross-section throughout its length. At the front, below a horizontal moulding it has a central vertical rib. A similar rib is situated above the horizontal moulding although there is only a small portion of this part due to a transverse break across the object. The base of the foot is slightly rounded. The rear face of the object is entirely flat.The surfaces have no patina and are covered in superficial copper alloy corrosion products. Flecks of a darker substance may be consolidated soot. Consequently, the leg may have belonged to a cooking vessel. However, this is uncertain.33.0 x 19.1 x 10.9mm. Weight: 31.93g. 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).
