Description: | A cast copper alloy cooking vessel leg/foot. The leg is a sub-rectangle in plan and in profile it is a triangular. The upper edge is broken but it is not recent as the patina covers the break. The base of the foot is sub-trapezoidal with the narrowest edge forming the reverse edge. The leg and foot is decorated on the outer face with a prominent, integral vertical ridge which is sub triangular in section. The surface of the leg has a mottled green coloured patina. It also has patches of a black deposit which is probably a sooty/carbon deposit. The leg measures 33.48mm wide across the foot, and 34.56mm tall. It weighs 58.7g.It is uncertain what type of vessel this leg comes from, but Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide Unpublished) suggests such vessels were used from the mid 13th to 16th centuries.
