Description: | Cast copper alloy cauldron leg and foot with five defined moulded ribs running vertically from the broken end of the leg, to the bulbous transverse collar above the foot. The central rib of the five ribs is twice as thick as the others, which is typical of Post-medieval cauldron legs. The foot is in a claw formation with seven moulded ribs that splay outwards slightly. The broken end, which is semi-circular in section, would have widened to a curved flat terminal that would have attached to the body of the vessel and. There is black organic material adhering to the surface of the leg, which is probably soot from a time when the cauldron was standing near the fire.Read (1988) illustrates similar legs on pages 95-96, Nos.590 & 598, which date from the 17th century.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate similar legs attached to cauldrons on page 102, No.85, which is dated from 1658, and on page 145, No.150, which dates from the 17th century.
