Description: | Cast copper alloy pot leg and part of the wall of a tub-like vessel, possibly with square handles, like the comparanda below. The wall of the vessel extends at a very upright angle, in profile, from the leg, suggesting that this is from a straight-sided vessel, and not a cauldron. The vessel leg has a narrow but pronounced central mid-rib, which extends vertically beyond the leg on to the wall and continues to the edge where it has broken off the main body of the vessel. The foot of the leg is slightly pointed and V-shaped in plan and profile.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 95, No.586, which is dated from the 13th to the 17th century.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a tub-like vessel of Welsh Border type with this 'flamboyant' upward extension of the leg ribs, on page 164, No.169, which is dated to the 17th century.
