A copper alloy Pot Leg of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (AD 1200-1700), possibly from an early posnet. The object has a sub-rectangular cross section. The lower end of the object is rhas a raised ridge in the centre of the foot, with some corrosion visible. The upper end of the leg is irregular due to being broken in antiquity, so it is not possible to see the full length of the leg or the point at which the leg would affix to the vessel body.  The metal is dark green in colour with a slightly pitted and corroded patina.
