Description: | Cast copper alloy vessel leg, probably from a cauldron, that is rectangular in plan and profile and triangular in section, with a central longitudinal rib which tapers to a thin edge on both sides. The foot is worn and looks to have melted and then solidified, suggesting that it was left for too long by the fire. The end of the foot would have been rounded but one side is missing, which has broken off during use, as there is wear and corrosion on the surface of the angular break. These types of long flat legs are found on cauldrons and larger vessels like those below.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate cauldrons with similar legs on pages 139 & 165, fig. 2, no.170, which are both dated from the 16th century.
