Cauldron/Bucket
Comment
Possible, the coins were first place in a textile bag as fragment were discovered in cauldron.
Height: 26 cm; diameter of the body: 30.8 cm; diameter of the bottom: 22.6 cm; diameter of the opening: 25 cm.
As we can see today it has a very marked profile, almost cylindrical in its lower part and at the rim, with a belly bulge halfway up. The rim, thick, flares slightly. This artefact was made in one piece by hammering from a plate blank from the foundry. There is no trace of any supporting feet or loop attachment; however, it could be fixed at a circle of metal enclosing the neck.
There are traces of many repairing works that indicate repeated use; the smith made them by placing small plates of hammered metal inside the container that he fixed using rivets. The inside of the cauldron was probably tinned.
