Description: | Cast copper alloy receptacle foot from a cauldron leg, triangular in plan, profile and section. There are three ribs at the upper broken edge where the leg ends and then expands into the foot which has a prominent central mid rib or claw which divides the two trapezoidal faces that expand to the base. The back of the foot is flat with one raised section beside some recessed damage, and the base of the foot is worn but looks like it would have originally had seven ribs on claws from the edge that remains.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a similar foot on a large hanging skillet on page 68, no.45, which dates from c.1592-1614, and on a cauldron on page 144, Fig.1 which is dated to c.1610.Saunders (2012) illustrates a similar large leg fragment with five ribs on page 80, fig.4, no.9, which is dated from the 16th century.Read (1988) illustrates a similar large plain foot on page 96, no.595, which is dated from the 16th to the 17th century.
