A Medieval to post-Medieval cast copper-alloy cooking vessel leg/foot (c. 1250-c. 1650).
This foot is roughly triangular in plan and cross-section. There is a small portion of the inner face of the vessel at the top. The base of the foot is pointed. The rear face has three horizontal casting imperfections.
The object is drab green and largely covered with consolidated soot.
Height: 73.5mm; width: 27.4mm; thickness: 15.3mm. Weight: 71.09g.
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).
