Description: | Incomplete leg of a large copper alloy vessel, probably a cauldron. Post-Medieval (1500 AD - 1800 AD). Maximum dimensions: Length 52mm, width 51mm and 24mm thick. Weight 162.38g.The fragment tapers from the widest broken end where the width is 51mm to the narrow end where the width is 46mm. Both ends of the fragment are old breaks. The front face is convex and the rear face has a raised moulded rib. Either side of the rib, the surface is curved so that the object is pelta-shaped in cross-section. The surface has a green deposit of copper carbonate. Overlying this deposit on all surfaces except that of the smaller break are patches of a black substance which may be "sooting", the result of the object having been in contact with fire.
