Description: | Damaged copper-alloy toy cauldron of post-medieval date (possibly 16th-17th C. - see ref.). The object consists of a bag-shaped pot with a slightly convex base. It measures 31.2mm wide at the bottom and narrows to 23.4mm wide at the top where there is a simple and well-defined, near vertical rim. There are two opposing loop handles at the top. These extend from the outside of the rim and re-attach 15mm down the body of the vessel. The cauldron was originally supported by three equally-spaced legs. Only one of these legs remains intact. It is roughly circular in section and measures 19.4mm long by 4.6mm diameter. It is slightly turned up at the bottom to form a small foot. Only small remnants of the other two legs survive. Overall, the piece is roughly cast and has some post-depositional damage and corrosion to the surfaces. The dimensions are 39.3mm high by 31.2mm wide. The weight is 40.86g.
