Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy leg from a cooking and/or serving vessel of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (AD1200-1700). This incomplete leg weighs 145.16g and has a maximum height of 76.7mm. The back of the leg is flat and the cross section would be sub-rectangular but for the presence of a prominant triangular rib down the centre of the front of the leg. The leg has a thickness of 15.7mm over the central rib. The edges of the leg taper backwards slightly so that the front of the leg is a little wider than the back. The leg has a maximum width of 26.9mm at the ankle expanding to in excess of 30.0mm at the irregular diagonal break. Below the ankle the foot expands in width to 37.5mm with the central prominant rib continuing over the front of the foot. The corners of the front of the foot also project forwards and with the central rib represent three toes or claws. The base of the foot is flat and angles forward at an angle of c.115 degrees. The foot projects forwards to a thickness of 19.7mm.
