Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy pot foot. The flaring foot is D shaped in section with a flat back and convex front; it is broken off where it narrows into the leg, before any collar, if there was one present. The foot widens and thickens towards the slightly irregular base. There are seven evenly spaced raised ribs running down the front. The fragment is 28.4mm tall, 44.2mm wide and 23.5mm thick; it weighs 75.35 grams.Crudely made cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1700 for serving and cooking. Butler et al (2009:4) suggest there were four main types of leg used. This is probably a type C which they suggest was already in use by the 16th century and was almost universal in the 17th.
