Description: | Part of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy pot leg. The remaining section appears to be just be the foot which is D-shaped in section and very worn, with traces of five evenly spaced raised ribs running down the front. The foot narrows and thins towards the top where it ends in an old break where it attached to the leg. It is 31.5mm long, 30.9mm wide and 17.3mm thick; it weighs 69.72 grams.Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1100-1800 for serving and cooking. Butler et al (2009, 4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is possibly a type B which they suggest was already in use by around AD 1500 although this identification is tentative as so little remains and the collar which would be between the foot and leg if the identification is correct, is lost.
