A fragment of a cast copper alloy vessel of medieval date. The fragment is part of the leg of a probable cooking vessel. The leg is sub-triangular in section with rounded corners and expands outward towards the foot. The base of the leg is rounded and the upper edge terminates in a worn break. The object is undecorated.
The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina and is worn. The fragment is 44.4mm long, 27.1mm wide, 17.3mm thick and weighs 62g.
Crude copper alloy vessels for cooking and serving were widely used during the period AD 1200 - 1700 and were increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries. While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific type a mid 13th to 16th century date is generally accepted for copper alloy cooking vessels.
