A cast copper alloy pot leg from a large bronze vessel.
The pot leg would have come off of a large cauldron or similar. The front and back of the pot leg are flat. The front features two heavy duty, but crude ‘claws’. The claws are angular, but extend upwards into two rounded lobes. The metal is a mid greenish-brown and the metal is pitted.
