Description: | A cast copper alloy cooking vessel leg/foot. The foot is, in profile, a quarter circular from which the leg extends. The leg is rectangular in profile and plan with a broken upper edge. The break is not a recent break. In section the leg is sub-trapezoidal. The surface is abraded and has a mottled mid green coloured patina. There are traces of a heavy black deposit on the leg, which is probably a sooty/carbon deposit. The leg measures 57.26mm tall, 24.23mm wide across the foot and 16.04mm thick. It weighs 70.7g. The carbon deposit may suggest 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 Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Unpublished) suggests such vessels were used from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
