A Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy cooking vessel leg/foot (c. 1250-c. 1650).
This object is sub-trapezoidal in plan and sub-triangular in cross-section. From the transverse break at the top, the sides taper inwards to a rounded foot which is uneven on the base. At the front it is slightly bulbous just beneath the break.
The surfaces, excluding the break, are mainly covered with consolidated dark grey soot.
Height: 34.1mm; width: 26.7mm; thickness; 14.6mm. Weight: 48.87g.
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). Also see: Butler, Green and Payne: 2009.
