Description: | An incomplete copper alloy pot leg of medieval to post-medieval date. The object has a rectangular section at the base, sub-triangular in cross-section and is triangular in profile. The pot leg tapers inward with a slightly convex inner surface from the base to the upper portion. The foot and leg is decorated with a central vertical ridge. The reverse is undecorated. The surface is worn with a worn break across the top and has organic material from deposition still clinging to it.It has a dark greenish-brown patina. It measures 30.61mm in length, 35.85mm in width and is 10.32mm thick and weighs 49.30g.Copper alloy vessels were commonly used for downhearth cooking from AD1100 to the late 1700s where they were gradually phased out in favour of cast-iron pots and saucepans designed for kitchen ranges. Therefore it is difficult to closely date this object without any further archeological context.
