Of a rather unique design, this black, Cast Iron Cauldron is a solid tool for any altar. Set upon three 1 1/4" legs, it starts wide at its base and tapers gently to a narrower mouth, and is encircled the entire way a sort of ribbing that leaves it with the appearance of being quite structurally strong. Two rings on its sides, by the cauldron`s mouth, support a small carrying handle which arches over the lid that settles in place and can be removed. The entire thing measures approximately 4 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" wide at its widest point.
