Description: | Cast copper alloy receptacle leg, probably from a cauldron, plano-convex in plan, profile and section, with a larger central mid-rib, divided by alternating raised triangles, and flanked by two narrower ribs either side. The ribs run vertically downwards to a horizontal, transverse, raised collar above a broken foot. The leg's broken upper end is semi-circular in section and the leg tapers from here towards the collar and narrows to almost a point at the foot below. The back of the leg has a central vertical groove so it is not completely flat. There is black sooting on the surface of the leg, caused when the cauldron was near the fire.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate cauldron legs with similar patterns and tapered feet on pages 58 & 66, nos.29 & 42, which are both dated from the late 17th century.
