Description: | A small cast copper alloy probable vessel foot dating from the Medieval to the Post-Medieval period. The object is shield shaped in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section with a central vertical rib. The top of the object is broken due to an old break. The object has a light green patina. There are adhering traces of an unidentified black substance, which is probably a sooty/carbon deposit, on each surface of the object.Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001: 52).
