Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel of medieval date. The fragment is part of the leg of a probable cooking vessel. The leg is roughly rectangular in section expanding outward towards the foot. The base of the leg is fairly flat which would have aided in the stability of the over all vessel. The front has a single raised rib running centrally along its length. The object is undecorated and the upper edge of the leg terminates in a worn break.The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina and is worn. The fragment is 38.5mm long, 41.3mm wide, 14.5mm thick and weighs 75g.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.
