A cast copper-alloy leg from a Medieval/ Post-Medieval laver or ewer. It has a D-shaped cross-section and widens gradually from the base to the point where it meets the body of the vessel, a small part of which has been preserved at the top of the leg. The bottom of the foot is rounded, possibly through use, and the whole leg is very worn. The leg would have been one of three on a complete vessel. The leg measures 66.78mm by 25.09mm by 15.89mm and weighs 95.26g.
