Description: | Copper alloy vessel leg, probably from a cauldron or skillet. The leg is 'hoof-shaped', with a flat reverse. There is a rounded, raised band around the upper part of the leg, just before the break. Any further detail is difficult to make out as they leg is very worn and in poor condition. The base of the leg is well rounded, probably due to wear and the reverse is sooted in places. The metal is yellowish green in colour and heavily pitted. Butler et al. (2009, pp.4&6) suggest that this type of foot was in use by the 16th century and became the typical form in use during the 17th century.Length: 50.60mm, Width: 28.37mm, Thickness: 16.18mm
