Description: | The leg and foot from a post-medieval cast copper-alloy cooking vessel, probably a cauldron. The foot is triangular in cross-section with a slightly convex back and slight ridge down the centre of the front. The end of the leg is very worn and rounded, which may be the result of use wear. Retained at the top of the leg is the curved inner surface of the vessel itself, with worn edges at the breaks. It is 56.7mm long, up to 29.5mm wide and up to 17.8mm thick; it weigh 98.86 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 probably a type D which they suggest was in use in the 18th and 19th centuries, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out entirely.
