Description: | A copper-alloy leg from a cast cooking vessel such as a cauldron.The upper part of the leg is near vertical. Three of the surfaces are flat, the only exception being the outer surface, which has a vertical ridge extending down the centre. At the base is a forward-facing foot, with sides which spaly outwards. The aforementioned ridge continues across the surface of the toe.The object has been poorly cast and is heavily corroded. It measures 76.4mm high, 50.3mm wide and 32.3mm deep. The weight is 226.9g.Similar cauldron legs are illustrated by Butler, Green and Payne (2009: 6, fig. 4a), who suggest that the form was in widespread use during the Medieval period and continued as late as the 17th century.
