Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy pot foot and part of the leg. The leg is D shaped in section with a flat back; it is broken off just above a transverse collar with an old break. There are the worn remains of four or five rounded ribs running down the leg. The prominent collar is rounded in section. The foot is also D shaped in section with a flat back. Slight indentations suggest the ribs continued onto th foot although they are now worn away. The base of the foot is rounded. The piece is 39.7mm long, 23.8mm wide and 13.3mm thick; it weighs 42.08 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 a type C which they suggest was already in use by the 16th century and was almost universal in the 17th.
