Description: | Cast copper alloy receptacle leg, probably from a small cauldron or skillet, triangular in plan, profile and section, with a large central mid-rib, flanked by two slightly narrower ribs on either side, and tapering from the triangular fragment of the body of the vessel at its upper end, to a pointed end at its foot. The back of the leg is flat and the end of the foot is worn, particularly on the back from use wear, so that it looks deliberately narrowed or pinched. Most of the surface is covered in burnt black organic matter which shows its exposure to the fire while using it for cooking.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a cauldron with similar tapered legs on page 152, no.157, and a skillet on page 114, no.113, which are both dated from the 17th century.
