Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy vessel leg of Medieval to post-Medieval date (c. 1250-c. 1650).The leg is triangular in cross-section but has rounded corners; the base of the leg is also rounded. A break has occurred where it joined the body and a small part of the inner face of the body has a curved surface.This leg has a mid-green patina which is almost covered overall with superficial copper alloy corrosion deposits. The patina on the curving inner part of the body is smooth and shiny. Black friable deposits just beneath the break are probably consolidated soot. The right hand side of the foot (as viewed from the front) has oblique file marks. The front corner is damaged throughout most of its length. The breaks at the top, where the leg joined the body, are crisp, but appear to be quite old.58.0 x 25.1 x 22.1mm. Weight: 92.19g.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).
