Description: | Lead alloyPossible vessel leg. A hollow cast object with a flat circular foot of diameter 16.5mm at the end of a tapering moulded leg. Decorative moulding includes series of tiny saltire ornament flanked by ribs at the inner and outer edges, and petals at the putative foot. The overall effect is faintly architectural. There would presumably be three or four such legs supporting the body of a small vessel. The material would not be robust, so a use as formal tableware might be entertained. Patinated overall, on both inner and outer surfaces. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800. Height: 39.12mm, Width: 23.57mm, Thickness: 10.32mm, Weight (partly soil-filled): 22.53gms.
