Description: | Cast copper alloy foot from a cauldron leg, rectangular in plan, L-shaped in profile, and E-shaped in section, at the base. The foot has three ribs running vertically down the length of the outer face, divided about half way by a collar, running horizontally across the width of the foot. Below the collar, the foot terminates in a ??paw?? with three projecting claws, the terminals of the ribs.

Bailey (1997) illustrates a similar example on page 36, No.1.
