Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval to Post Medieval cooking vessel leg/foot, circa AD 1250-1750. The leg is irregular in form with tapering sides. The upper edge and lower edges are damaged. The upper edge is broader where it would have attached to the vessel. The inner face has a flat surface with no ridges and is slightly curved. The leg is decorated on the outer face with an integral, central, vertical ridge. The surface of the leg has a green/brown coloured patina and possibly evidence of sooting on both faces. It is uncertain what type of vessel this fragment comes from, but Egan (1998) comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. There are similar vessel fragments recorded on the database (WAW-449CA5andWAW-D9E941).The leg measures 45mm in height, 40.83mmwidth, and 24.71mm thickness at the upper edge. It weighs 82.4 grams.Egan G. (1998) The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office.
