Cooking pot decorated with three stylized vegetative motifs and French lilies, The object shows no casting seam. The body is spherical and decorated with three stylized vegetative motifs, details of which end in a spiral shape and two are crowned by a French lily. The transition from trunk to neck is enlivened by a rib. There is a protrusion on the front, perhaps connected to the original spout. The lip edge is somewhat flat at the top and round and narrow towards the outside. The pot stands on three claw feet, which are more or less five-sided in cross-section. The handle that connects the trunk with the lip edge is formed by a bird whose tail ends in a dragon head. A French lily connects to the trunk. A dragon's head can be recognized in the spout opposite. There are two protrusions at right angles to the handle and spout on the lip edge, which have the shape of human heads. Two holes are provided in this for fixing the handle. This is made of wrought iron, which is twisted and has a round opening at the top, in which a wrought iron hook is fitted. The spout has been renewed., anonymous, France (possibly), 1300 - 1400, bronze (metal), iron (metal), forging, h 20.6 cm × h 30.3 cm × w 21.4 cm × d 16 cm
