Description: | A cast copper-alloy leg from a medieval to post-medieval cooking vessel.The zoomorphic leg has a triangular cross section, sub-parallel, irregular sides and an uneven toe. A transverse ridge extends across the top of the leg, and the broken upper surface is uneven. Traces of a black coating, probably soot, can be seen on the surfaces, particularly around the toe.Height: 54.7mm; width: 31.1mm; thickness/depth: 21.2mm. Weight: 131.18g.Pot legs of this form appear on vessels from the late medieval period (see Saunders ed. 2012: 74-75/fig. 5, nos. 15, 16 and 20) and continued to be manufactured until at least the 17th century (Butler, Green and Payne 2009: 4).
