Description: | A cast copper alloy foot and part of a leg from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. The leg is broadly trapezoidal in cross section with a central rib running down the length of the front and onto the foot. The leg flares outwards at the front to form the foot which has a flat base. The leg rises at c.70 degrees from the base. One front corner of the foot is missing to an old break and there is an irregular old break at the top of the leg. It measures 35.1mm in length, 50.5mm in width, 27.1mm in thickness and weighs 137g. It has a green-grey patina with patches of black sooting.Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) suggest that this form (type a) was widespread in the Medieval period, but examples are known into the early 17th century.
