A cast copper alloy leg or foot from a copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval date (1300 - 1500). The leg is sub-rectangular in plan and cross section. It tapers slightly from the top to the base. The top of the foot is uneven and would have been soldered to the body of the vessel. The foot expands at the very base; this forms a wide foot which would improve the stability of the vessel. The angle of the leg, when the foot is placed on a horizontal surface, is approximately 80°. The leg measures 29.9mm in length, has a maximum width of 17.2mm, a maximum th…
