Description: | A corroded and worn cast copper-alloy leg and foot from a cooking vessel of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The fragment is broadly triangular in section with a flattened reverse and three pronounced ribs to the front. A small portion of the leg remains above a prominent rounded collar, from which the foot of the vessel extends. The ribs on the foot are more pronounced, and taper outwardly in width with the central rib extending more prominently forward. The base of the foot is worn and uneven, with the body of this artefact displaying a light to mid green colour and pitted surface overall. Similar examples can be seen in Butler, Green and Payne (2009: 4-6, fig. 4) which suggest a 16th-17th century date based upon the ribbed leg, raised collar design and sub-triangular section.This vessel leg measures 42.2mm in length, 22.8mm in width, 12.6mm in thickness and weighs 47.97 grams.
