Description: | An incomplete Medieval-Post Medieval cast copper alloy Cauldron leg, circa AD1250 - AD1700. An attempt has been made in antiquity to rejoin the leg to the Cauldron, by applying a coat of molten metal to the two broken ends. This proved unsuccessful and the lower part of the old leg, which has traces of a hardened black substance protrudes from the top of yet another break. The old leg also shows through at the instep, and the underside of the foot, by virtue of its blackened surface. One corner of the foot has broken off in antiquity. The piece measures 37.9mm in length, 28.0mm width, 19.7mm in thickness and weighs 119.5g. It is in a worn condition.
