The leg is roughly rectangular in section expanding outward towards the foot. The reverse and base of the leg are flat for stability and the front has two wide parallel vertical grooves resulting in a zoomorphic foot style. The object is undecorated and the upper edge of the leg terminates in a worn break though a narrow elongated spru of circular section projects slightly off centre.The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina and is worn. The fragment is 55.5mm long, 36.6mm wide, 22.5mm thick and weighs 101g.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.
