Description: | A cast copper alloy cauldron foot (length: 58mm; width at base of foot: 46mm; thickness at base of foot: 23mm). The weight is approximately 240g. The foot has a triangular top to bottom profile and has been broken from the main body of the vessel just above a rim (width: 8mm) that runs across the front. Below the rim, the bottom of the foot protrudes slightly outwards in five toes or paws. The back of the foot is flat, but the base is slightly uneven with the front toe forming a point. The overall condition of the cauldron foot is fair with more concentrated areas of corrosion around the top and base of the artefact. A similar example has been found in London where the feet were part of a large bronze ewer (Museum of London Catalogue, 1965; Field, 1984), but this artefact may date to a slightly later period.
