Description: | A cast copper-alloy miniature cauldron of Medieval to post-Medieval date.The cauldron has a bag-shaped body with flat underside and a rim that angles inwards from the circular opening. A pair of angular handles extend across the transition between the rim and the body. Originally, there were three legs, although only two survive intact. They are arranged in a triangular formation, angling outwards and terminating in a moulded foot. The artefact measures 16.5mm high, up to 18.7mm wide and weighs 6.96g.Numerous examples of miniature domestic utensils have been found in London (see Egan and Forsyth 2005). The London examples of cauldrons (ibid. 111-115) date from the 14th to 17th centuries. For parallels on the PAS database, see BH-9C97E6 and BH-26CDF5.
