About this piece
A cauldron big enough to make you rethink dinner.
Makers in Cameroon, Central Africa, produced this British style cooking vessel in iron in the late 19th or early 20th century. Footed iron pots of this shape were widely traded and used across Africa for cooking over open fires and for communal feasts. The body is round and wide-mouthed, with a pair of small loop handles at the rim and three short pointed feet beneath. Horizontal ribs circle the belly. The surface has weathered to an even rust-orange, with a darker inside.
About eleven inches high and fourteen across. Fill it with branches, or fill it with nothing and let it brood.
