Description: | A complete cast copper alloy leg from a vessel, probably a cauldron of later medieval date (1300 - 1600). It is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with a flared top where it joined onto the bowl. In cross section the leg is a D shape with a pronounced curved front face. The foot is hooved, with four indentations.The top has a wide flange about 5mm below the top that the bowl sat upon, and a higher central section that went through the bowl's side and was hammered down to sandwich the bowl between itself and the lower flange. A fragment of bowl remains trapped in this gap, it is copper alloy and 3.0mm thick.The foot is mostly covered by a black carbonised (soot) deposit from use. Where the soot is not present a light green patina has formed.The leg measures 85.0mm in length. The flange is 45.3mm by 27.9mm. The leg tapers from 24.2mm wide just below the flange, to 20.7mm at the foot. It weighs 183.6 grams.
