Artifacts
Trypot: Cast iron, two lugs at opposite sides, pronounced lip, two opposite sides flattened - into one of which a brass spout, 50 mm in diameter, has been rivetted. The spout is angled downwards, and as a thread at its end. There are 8 ribs running around the trypot. The casting seam is visible across these ribs. The trypot has a depth of 720 mm and open diameter of 1 metre.
Stand: Three identical metal objects, 930 mm long, with but ends.
Pin: Metal pin, 510 mm long, tapered
