Description: | Part of a cast copper alloy leg from a Medieval to Post Medieval vessel. The leg is flat cross section with convex rounded edges and a flat front and back. The leg terminates in a rounded but plain end with no clear 'foot', at the top is an old break. The front of the leg has a raised central rib running down the length.There are extensive traces of sooting on the leg and foot. It measures 30.3mm in length, 31.1mm in width and 9.7mm in thickness; it weighs 28.40g.This appears to be an example of Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) Type 'a', lacking the foot, which was widespread in the Medieval period with examples known into the early 17th century. SOM-D66AA0 on this database is similar but has a definite foot.
