Description: | A fragment from a medieval/post-medieval (1100-1700) copper alloy cooking vessel, possibly an early form posnet, consisting of the foot and lower part of the leg. The leg is trapezoidal in cross-section, tapering slightly downward to terminate in a simple, out-turned foot. The outer surface has a central rib of hemispherical cross-section which extends down to the foot. The flat underside of the foot is sub-rectangular in section, having a concave terminal edge, and though incomplete due to wear, would measure 41.0mm x 23.5mm. The break measures 44.0 x 10.0mm (with central rib 14.6mm). The fragment is 38.7mm tall and weighs 128.53g.The reverse of the fragment is severely worn and pitted, probably due to a high lead content in the copper alloy. The outer surface has traces of a black residue.
