A cast, copper-alloy vessel, cauldron or tripod leg. A wide but tentative date of AD 1200-1600 can be given. The foot is in the form of a lion's paw with a collar. It has a flat reverse which is slightly concave and it has traces of sooting. The bottom of the paw is slightly sloping. The narrowest end (measuring 30.07 mm in width) is triangular in section and has a broken edge. The widest end is 52.02 mm. The existent length is 80.05.

Copper-alloy vessel fragments are recorded on the PAS database (e.g. LIN-C17A41). For a complete example of a copper-alloy medieval vessel see BERK-531B79. This is the first example on the database of a zoomorphic foot or paw.
