An incomplete and corroded Medieval to post-Medieval leg/foot from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel (c. 1250-c. 1650).
The foot is sub-rectangular in plan, sub-triangular in cross-section and the rear face is flat. Within the breaks at the top is a small area of the inner surface of the vessel. The lower end is in the form of transverse break.
It is light green, dark green, light brown, off-white and has patches of consolidated soot.
Height: 58.9mm; width: 27.3mm; thickness: 27.1mm. Weight: 123.43g.
Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001: 52).
