Description: | Cast copper alloy cauldron leg, attached to a fragment of the body of the vessel. The leg tapers into a pointed end and has a single raised, rounded rib that runs longitudinally along the centre of the leg and continues up the outside of the main cauldron body, where it intersects with a narrower cordon that runs horizontally across the body of the vessel. These ribs are similar to the wire moulding on the Westcountry cauldrons illustrated by Butler and Green (2003) on page 165, nos.170-172, which are dated from the 15th to the 16th century. The straight-sided shape and flat underside of the vessel wall suggests that is might be more of an elongated tub-like vessel and not a cauldron bowl, similar to the unusual Welsh border vessel illustrated by Butler and Green (2003) on page 164, no.169, which is dated from the 17th century. The legs on this vessel are also similar with large central mid-ribs and pointed feet. There are a number of small scratch marks present just below the wire moulding that extend to the underside of the vessel, which are due to damage, and some burnt matter adhering to the interior of the body of the vessel.
