A Medieval to post-Medieval leg/foot from a cast copper-alloy cooking vessel (c. 1250-c. 1650 AD).
The object is sub-rectangular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross-section throughout its length. One side is slightly convex and the opposite side has a central vertical. The base is irregular and the top is in the form of an old irregular break.
This foot is corroded and is partially covered with a black substance, probably consolidated soot.
63.43 x 42.71 x 20.49mm. Weight: 140.72g.
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).
