Description: | An incomplete copper alloy medieval leg from a vessel dating to the period c. AD 1350 - 1500. The leg is most likely from a cauldron, skillet or posnet. It is D-shaped in cross section. The leg exhibits a moulded foot divided into five longitudinal ridges alternating with four grooves. It measures 35.64mm in width at the bottom and tapers to a width of 28.69mm at which point it is interrupted by a wide transverse ridged collar measuring 34.69mm in width. The leg then narrows above the collar to a width of 28.82mm at which point the alternating pattern of ridges and grooves recommences. The leg widens slightly along its length to a width of 32.98mm at which point it terminates in an old break.The vessel leg measures 88.79mm in length, 35.64mm maximum width, 28.69mm minimum width, 20.43mm maximum thickness, 14.81mm minimum thickness and weighs 260.13g.Cf.
