Description: | A cast copper alloy cauldron or skillet leg. Triangular in plan and cross-section with a central rounded vertical rib at the front. According to Butler, Green and Payne in Finds Research Group Datasheet 41, "From about AD 1100, cast copper alloy vessels...were commonly used for downhearth cooking, with the vessel sitting among the embers or suspended over the fire. All but the poorest medieval or post-medieval households would have had at least one metal cooking vessel....These vessels gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superceded by cast iron pots..."
