Description: | An incomplete, foot/leg fragment from a Medieval/Post Medieval, cast, copper alloy, cooking receptacle (cauldron, skillet, jug or ewer). Three toes design with a moulded, corded transverse ridge above but broken just at this level and unusually hand filed to round it off from three different directions 90 degrees to each other leaving a small square platform. There appears to be some wear and there are traces of black laquer in the recesses otherwise an attractive dark green patina. This is likely to date from 1200-1699, probably nearer the later date.
