Description: | A broken fragment of a copper-alloy object, possibly a medieval or post-medieval leg from a skillet or cauldron. The object is flat on one side and has a ridge on the other, making it lozenge shaped in section. The object tapers from 32.86 mm at its widest to 23.79 mm at the thin end. At the wider end there is a central irregularly shaped sub-oval recess running to the rib. This, and the rib, resembles the flange and ridge seen on some mid-Bronze Age palstaves, although the flat reverse on this object suggests that this is not one of these, and interpretation as a possible skillet leg is preferred. The piece measures 38.92 mm long and is 10.2 mm thick. It weighs 33.5 grams. It has a smooth brown patina with small areas of dark grey.
