Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy foot and part of the leg from a cooking vessel. It is roughly D-shaped in section, with flattened reverse and five ribs running down the convex front. The ribs are evenly spaced with one at each outer side. The rounded foot is separated from the leg by a prominent rounded transverse collar on the front. The ribs on the leg are less prominent. The leg is almost vertical when standing flat on the foot. At the top of the leg is a flat cur rather than a break. It measures 43.4mm in length, 30.8mm in width, 19.2mm in thickness and weighs 103.97g.A similar parallel can be seen on this database on SOM-4CB634. Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) suggest that the ribbed leg and raised collar design was in use in the 16th Century and widespread by the 17th. As the foot is not distinctly flared, this is a leg is probably from a skillet rather than a cauldron.
