Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy vessel of medieval to post-medieval date. The fragment is the leg of a probable cooking vessel such as a posnet or skillet. It is ovate and fairly uniform in section with a worn expansion to the upper aspect at which the leg would have been joined to the vessel proper. The bottom of the leg expands into a D-sectioned foot with flat base and curved top which would have allowed the vessel to stand when accompanied by other legs. The object is undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-green patina and is worn. The fragment is 67.4mm long, 21.4mm wide, 14.6mm thick and weighs 94g.While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific type it is likely to be from a large cooking vessel and dates from c. AD 1100 to c. AD 1850 when the use of cast iron cooking vessels predominates.
