Description: | An incomplete small cast copper-alloy probable leg of Medieval to post Medieval date c.1400-1700, probably from a vessel, possibly a chafing dish support. The leg tapers from top-to-bottom and has faceted edges, creating two narrow faces (front and back) with two pairs of wider faces in-between (forming the sides). There is considerable filing evident on all faces. The wider end of the leg, presumably the top which is D-shaped in section, appears complete and has traces of a square ridge, probably a point of soldering to the main vessel bowl. The narrower foot of the leg, which is oval in section, is broken and incomplete. No good parallel find has been found for this item and the identification remains provisional.
