Description: | A Medieval to post-Medieval leg/foot from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel. The object is trapezoidal in cross-section throughout its length, wider at the front than the back. On the front there is a central vertical rib. The base is flat and the top ends in an old abraded break. It is 23.6mm long, 26.6mm wide, 12.6mm thick and weighs 26.54 grams. Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler et al (2009:4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is a type A which they suggest was widespread in the Medieval period, but examples are known into the early 17th century.
