Title
A Late Medieval Toy
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy cauldron dating to the Medieval to Post Medieval period (c.AD 1400-1600). In plan the cauldron is irregular with a rounded body. It has a flat base which flares into the rounded body and then tapers inward at the neck before expanding again to form a flared rim. Two diametrically opposed 'lug-like' looped handles are positioned from the rim to the flaring belly of the pot. The cross section of these loops is circular. From the base of the pot three legs would have extend, but only one remains. The remaining led tapers in width and thickness along the length terminating in a rounded point. The legs would have supported the weight of the vessel evenly. In cross section the legs are broadly sub-rectangular and flare outwards along their length. The cauldron is undecorated. 

For comparable examples recorded on the PAS database see WMID-E6F6E4 and WMID-BC3432. 

The overall dimensions are as follows: 26.1mm in length, 26.7mm in width, 18.1mm in thickness and 18.3g in weight.
