A very worn or miscast copper alloy leg from a cauldon, skillet or posnet of medieval or post medieval date. The surfaces of the object are very uneven although the front appears to have a moulded vertical central ridge. The leg would have been one of the three required to support the vessel, although if this example was indeed miscast it would never have been used. Dimensions: 43.55mm by 41.19mm by 18.85mm Weight: 103.2g

A cast copper alloy leg from a medieval or post-medieval metal cooking vessel, probably a post-medieval skillet judging by its dimensions and hoof-like form. The leg measures 53.11mm in length, 31.06mm in width and 18.10mm in thickness. It weighs 111.47g. The cross-section is D-shaped. From the base the leg narrows gradually to the point of the break, although in the centre of the surviving fragment the leg thickens briefly. There are also three slight vertical ridges which are equally spaced over the curving front. This leg would have been one of three on the complete vessel.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy vessel leg from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods, circa 1200-1700. The pot leg is sub-triangular in section, with a flat back and five worn, rounded, vertical ribs to the front. The fragment has two breaks, one of which appears to be more recent, with a lighter green patina and angular edges. The remaining surface has a dark green patina. The leg is probably from a skillet used for cooking and serving food. Height of leg: 18.49 mm. Width: 24.67 mm. Thickness:12.08 mm. Weight: 26 grams. Similar examples can be seen on WILT-F10A25 and DOR-B405E2.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy cooking vessel leg/foot of medieval topost-Medieval date, circa 1250-1750. In section, the foot is eliptical, with the base thickened and flared forward. The leg lacks the prominant vertical central ridge seen in most examples. The break appears to have happened in antiquity. The leg has heavy deposits of black which is probably sooty/carbon deposits from the cooking process on open fires. It seems probable that this leg is from a cauldron. Height of leg: 35.24 mm.
