Description: | The foot of a cast copper alloy leg from a ewer dating from the late medieval to post-medieval period (c. AD 1400-1600). The turned out foot is pentagonal in section with a flat back, angled sides and ridge down the centre of the front. It thins markedly and narrows slightly from the base to the top where there is a transverse collar running around the front and sides, separating it from the leg. The leg is now lost to an old break.In form the object bears similarities with an example illustrated in Egan (1998, 164, 166; ref: 459) and can be dated to the later part of the Medieval period; a similar vessel leg was found at Bedern, York excavations (Ottaway & Rogers 2002, 2809) and has been dated from the late 15th to early 16th centuries.
