This impressive bronze cooking pot is fitted with two hooked handles and stands on three large so-called claw feet. An unusual feature is that a cross is fitted to each point where the legs are mounted on the pot. There are only two other comparable examples of this. Such bronze cookery pots were a valuable possession. They were used in a smaller size in late mediaeval kitchens for preparing stews.
