Description: | A Medieval to post-Medieval copper-alloy leg from a cooking vessel.The upper part of the leg is of rectangular cross section and roughly equal width throughout. Below halfway down, the leg gradually widens at the front and the sides also splay outwards, forming a plain, wedge-shaped foot. When seated flat, the leg forms an angle of approximately 75 degrees with the surface. Height (when seated flat): 51.5mm; width: 43mm; thickness: 33.8mm. Weight: 214.41g.Cast copper-alloy cooking vessels were widely used throughout the Medieval and post-Medieval periods. According to Butler, Green and Payne, 'All but the poorest medieval or post-medieval households would have had at least one metal cooking vessel' (2009: 1). No exact parallel could be found for this piece, but it is likely to have been part of a cauldron, posnet or skillet.
