Description
A robust cast bronze cooking cauldron of bulbous form, raised on three tapering feet with sharply defined junctions, and fitted with a pair of angular loop handles supporting an integral iron swing handle. The thickened everted rim and softly rounded belly display the hammer marks and casting seams typical of 16th-century sand casting. The surface bears an appealing blackened and burnished patina from age and historic hearth use.
