Description: | Cast copper alloy cauldron leg, with raised edges and a central moulded rib running vertically down the middle of the front of the leg, semi-circular in section and rectangular in profile. One side of the leg is jagged, where the metal has melted into ridges or waves, and the foot end is also quite bulbous and uneven. Thare are deposits of black burnt material on the surface of the leg, on either side of the rib and on one edge. Butler and Green (2003) illustrate similar examples with narrowed feet supporting cauldrons on page 133, No.134, and with straight sides and pronounced mid-ribs on page 165, No.170, which are dated to the 16th century.
