Description: | Cast copper alloy skillet leg and foot with three worn moulded ribs running vertically from the broken end of the leg, to the bulbous transverse collar above the foot. The central rib of the three ribs is thicker than the other two, which is typical of Post-medieval cauldron and skillet legs. The broken end, which is semi-circular in section, would have widened to a curved flat terminal that would have attached to the body of the vessel. The foot is in a claw formation with three moulded ribs that form an arc in section, but one of the ribs has broken off while the vessel was still in use, evident from the black organic material still adhering to the surface of the leg in places, which is probably soot from a time when the skillet was standing near the fire.Read (1988) illustrates similar small legs on pages 95-96, Nos.591 & 597, which date from the 17th century.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate similar legs attached to skillets on pages 93 & 179, Nos.75 & 194, which date from the 17th century.
