Description: | A corroded and abraded cast copper-alloy foot from a later medieval to early post-medieval cooking vessel. The object is prominently splayed at the base in a simple, out-turned, pad-like foot of trapezoidal cross-section, now broken to one side with this part missing. The base is slightly concave. The front of the foot is decorated with a prominently moulded central rib: any further elaboration has been obscured by old damage. The break is irregular. The flat back and base make an obtuse angle of about 110 degrees. As noted, the object has become corroded post-deposition, and is largely a variable green colour with some patches of dark-grey surface patina. This form of foot is comparable to the that published in Butler et al. (2009, 4; ref. 4a) and could date from either the medieval or post-medieval periods.
