Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel of medieval date. The fragment is part of the leg of a probable cooking vessel such as a skillet of posnet. The leg is a narrow ovate shape in section expanding outward towards the foot. The foot is rectangular in plan and splays out from the base of the leg to have a width greater than that of the leg itself. The base of the foot is flat allowing it to be free standing. The object is undecorated and the upper edge of the leg terminates in a worn break.The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina and is worn. The fragment is 50.2mm long, 38.9mm wide, 6.9mm thick and weighs 70g.While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific type a mid 13th to 16th century date is generally accepted for copper alloy cooking vessels.
