Description: | Cast copper alloy receptacle leg and foot from a cauldron, rectangular in plan, L-shaped in profile and lozenge-shaped in section. There is one central rib running vertically down the centre of the leg, from the broken upper edge to the top of the foot, where it starts to angle downwards towards the base. The foot is flat and undecorated and the base is flat with some recesses of wear. The 'toe' of the foot is not in the usual curved claw form but instead has a straight rectangular chamfer from the upper edge to the base, at about a 45 degree angle. The back of the base is curved and has a slight ridge or heel. The back of the leg is also curved to meet the flat front of the leg. The leg is 15 mm thick and the base of the foot is 27 thick or deep.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a similar leg and foot on page 139 & 165, fig. 2, no.170 which are both dated from 15th to the 16th century.Saunders (2012) illustrates similar leg and feet fragments with one central rib on page 81, fig.5, nos.10 &11, which are dated from the 14th to the 15th century.Read (1988) illustrates a similar large plain foot on page 95, no.588, which is dated from the 13th to the 15th century.
