Description: | Cast copper alloy cauldron foot, moulded in the form of a splayed claw or spreading hoof, semi-circular in section and triangular in profile. The foot is now less defined in its form as it has been melted into a more smooth profile. There are the remains of burnt material on the base of the foot and on the upper faces, and the broken edge which would have connected to the leg has an undulating surface. The remains of the collar show that the leg had about five ridges running vertically along in a semi-circular formation. These begin to run down below the collar, suggesting that the foot also had five claws. Butler and Green (2003) illustrate a similar example on the base of the leg of a cauldron on page 145, No.150, which is dated to the 17th century.
