Description: | Cast copper alloy cauldron leg, sub-triangular in plan and profile and sub-rectangular in section, with four linear grooves separating five raised, rounded ribs and terminating in a curved foot. The upper broken edge of the leg, which would have attached to the body of the vessel, is flared, with an angled raised rib on each edge, and a central rib that would have continued onto the vessel. There are patches of black organic material adhering to the surface of the leg, which would have been burnt on when the cauldron was near the fire.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate a Welsh Border Type vessel with similar legs that have three connecting ribs that run up the side of the cauldron on page 134, no.136, which is dated from the 17th century.
