Description: | Cast copper alloy receptacle foot, moulded in the form of a splayed claw or spreading foot, semi-circular in section and triangular in profile. The foot is broken below where a collar might have been, dividing the foot and the leg. There is evidence of burning and material having melted onto the surface of the foot on the base and above the claw. Due to its small size, the foot was probably from a skillet or a posnet.Butler and Green (2003) illustrate similar examples of the same size on the bases of skillet legs on page 46, No.8, which is dated to the late 17th century and on page 120, No.120, which is dated from c.1586-1618.
