Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy leg from a cooking vessel of post-Medieval date (c. 1500-c. 1700). The object is 'D'-shaped in cross-section throughout its length. It has a flat undecorated rear face and a curving front. The 'D'-shaped base is flat and is almost at a right-angle to the rest of the leg. From the base, the leg narrows gradually upwards towards a plain transverse collar. Below the collar there are five plain conjoined convex ribs. Just above the collar there is a break. This leg has traces of a mid-green patina. The break above the collar is old and there are traces of soot on all the surfaces. 34.6 x 21.5 x 10.8mm. Weight: 30.99g. This leg would have been one of three on the complete vessel. Its dimensions and hoof-like form suggest that it came from a post-Medieval skillet and was almost universal in the 17th century (Finds Recording Group AD 700-1700 - Datasheet 41: 4, fig. 4c).
