Description: | A probable Post-Medieval copper alloy cooking vessel leg. The leg is oval in cross section. It has no discernible foot and the base is irregularly rounded. There is a straight break at the top where it would have been attached to the vessel originally. The metal is worn and corroded and one face shows traces of sooting where is would have faced the fire. The object fits best into Butler et al.'s Type D, which they suggest 'came into universal use in association with sand-casting and is therefore characteristic of all 18th- and 19th-century skillets' (2009, 5). This example is, however, quite large and even more basic in form than those they describe so could be of an earlier date.Length: 32.0mm, width: 30.0mm, thickness: 13.0mm, weight: 54.50g
