The fragment begins where it would have joined to the main body of the vessel and terminates in an irregular break. All the breaks are worn and old. The leg fragment is undecorated.The metal is a dark brownish-black colour and is slightly worn. The fragment is 56.6mm long, 39.1mm wide, 16.6mm thick and weighs 50g.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.
