Description: | An incomplete Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy foot from a vessel, probably a skillet or posnet (c. 1250-c. 1650).The object is broadly sub-rectangular in plan. It has an old break at the top below which it thickens and widens to become bulbous at the front. At the bottom it is narrower and slightly out-turned. The base is rounded and the break is 'D'-shaped in cross-section. The rear face is mainly flat.It is a light-mid green colour and corroded in places with carbonised soot deposits adhering to all surfaces except the break.37.9 x 22.8 x 14.7mm. Weight: 49.49g.Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001, 52).Butler, Green and Payne 2009, Datasheet 41.
