Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A fragment from the leg of a copper alloy vessel, probably a cooking pot or cauldron of Medieval or Post-Medieval date, AD 1200 - 1600. Only the flat foot and lower leg survives. The leg rectangular in cross-section and curves forwards to form the plain foot. The top edge is an old break. The surviving piece is 36.4mm long, 29.6mm wide and 42.7mm thick. 99.61g.

Medieval pot legs of this type are illustrated in Egan, G. 1998. The Medieval Household. Daily Living c.1150-c.1450, page.164, figure. 132. Egan comments that commonly used cooking vessels in the Medieval period include skillets, ewers, and cauldrons. Compare also Bailey, G. 1997, Detector Finds 3, page 36. See also Butler et Al (2009) leg classification type (a) seems most similar to this example.
