Description: | Large cast copper alloy vessel leg from a cauldron or large skillet, trapezoidal in plan, triangular in profile and semi-circular in section. The foot has a central ridge with two oblique faces either side which are plain and flange outwards towards the base. The base is flat apart from one small lump or casting imperfection, and the back of the foot is also flat and at right angles to the base. Above the foot are the beginnings of the leg in the form of five ribs, with the two outer ribs mostly missing, having broken off the main section of the leg. The surface of the leg is corroded with black patches of burnt organic material on the base, back and upper face of the foot.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a similar leg with five ribs on a large skillet on page 68, No.45, which dates from c.1592-1614, and on a cauldron on page 144, Fig.1 which is dated to 1610 on the vessel.Saunders (2012) illustrates a similar large leg fragment with five ribs on page 80, Fig.4, No.9, which is dated from the 16th century.Read (1988) illustrates a similar large plain foot on page 96, No.600, which is dated from the 16th to the 17th century.
