Description: An incomplete copper-alloy vessel foot probably from a cauldron, skillet or ewer, of medieval or post medieval date. The top end has been broken off (an old break). The pot leg is broadly D-shaped in section, with a smooth flat back, and a fluted front consisting of 5 semi-circular ribs that run the length of the leg from top to foot. There is a horizontal ridge across the width of the front face near the break at the top. The leg expands in width (16.1mm to 19.5mm) while the thickness remains the same (10.9mm) over its length, although it is slightly thicker at the horizontal ridge (11.8mm). The bottom of the foot is flattened and at an angle. It measures 39.6mm in length and weighs 36.99g.
