Description: | A complete cast copper alloy leg from a vessel, probably a cauldron of later medieval date (1300 - 1600)in the style of a human leg and foot. It is broadly sub-oval 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 top has a wide flange about 4mm 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 leg has a nice light green patina and there are traces of soot around the top.The leg measures 56.01mm in length. The flange is 25.34mm by 21.46mm. The leg tapers from 19mm wide just below the flange, to 14.15mm at the foot.It weighs 85.6 grams.Refer to: PUBLIC-84B721, WILT-505606, IOW-3AA686 and WAW-2E50F5.
