Complete cast rod plate. The inner side of the upper plate matched the contours of the ribs, groooves and rivet hotels of handle strap 2005.4H/1.8. When refitted, it is apparent that the rod plate projects about 2mm beyond the attachment plate. The lower rod plate has a flattened upper surface which has been welded to the cauldron wall below the rim. A small fragment of cauldron sheet remains adhered to the upper surface of the lower rod plate.
