Object type: CAULDRON
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete tripod cauldron of the Medieval period. It is rounded, with a wide rim. The three legs are present, one does not appear to match and this may be the result of a later repair. One of the legs (it is not clear if this is the mismatched one) is now detached. The two handles are triangular, mounted under the rim. A lot of the body of the cauldron is missing, although the weight of what remains is still substantial. Nevertheless it holds its shape and is an exceptional find as these would mostly have been recycled when too damaged to use further in the peri…
