The break at the top of the leg fragment is very worn and pitted.The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour and is worn. The fragment is 46.5mm long, 34.2mm wide, 26.8mm thick and weighs 85g.While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific type a mid 13th to 16th century date is generally accepted for copper alloy cooking vessels.
