Description: | Section of a Post Medieval cast copper leg from a cooking vessel. There are old breaks at both ends. It is roughly C-shaped in section with a convex front and concave back. It widens and thickens form one end to the other. The thinner end is plain. Starting about half way down the length the front is moulded into five rounded ribs with U-shaped grooves between. It measures 37.1mm in length, 25.4mm in width, 13.3mm in thickness and weighs 46.18g.This appears to be a varient of Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) type C which normally have a flat or only slightl;y concave back. They suggest that the ribbed leg design was in use in the 16th Century and widespread by the 17th.
