Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy leg and foot from a cauldron, rectangular in plan, L-shaped in profile and semi-circular in section. The foot has five moulded ribs running vertically down the leg until they meet the foot which begins to flange outwards to form a base. The base is no longer flat and may be an incomplete foot or just a simple everted foot. The back of the foot is also flat. The surface of the leg is corroded with black patches of burnt organic material on the base, and on the back and front of the leg.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a similar cauldron leg with five ribs and an everted foot on page 66, no.43, which dates from 1660-1699.Read (1988) illustrates similar incomplete legs on pages 95-96, nos.587 &593, which are dated from the 16th to the 17th century.
