Description: | Cast copper alloy cauldron leg, triangular in plan, profile and section. The leg has five vertical ribs on the exterior: a large central mid-rib, flanked by two slightly narrower ribs on either side, and tapering from the triangular fragment of the body of the vessel at its upper end, to a pointed end at its foot. The back of the leg is flat and the end of the foot is worn, particularly on the back from use wear, so that it looks deliberately narrowed or pinched. Most of the surface is covered in burnt black organic matter which shows its exposure to the fire while it was being used for cooking.Butler & Green (2003) illustrate cauldrons with similar tapered legs with five ribs on pages 117 & 150, nos.116 & 155, which are dated from the 17th century.
