Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy foot and part of the leg from a cooking vessel. It is roughly D-shaped in section, with a slightly concave reverse and five ribs running down the convex front. The ribs are evenly spaced with one at each outer side. There is no apparent separate foot as with other examples (SOM-C2EC85) and the leg terminates to a nearly flat end. The leg is almost vertical when standing flat on the foot. At the top of the leg is an old break. It measures 36.3mm in length, 25.7mm in width, 12.2mm in thickness and weighs 59.94g.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.
