The Battersea Cauldron is a large bronze cooking vessel, dated to 800BC to 700BC. It is one of around 60 examples of similar Iron Age cauldrons found in Great Britain and Ireland. It stands 40.5 centimetres (15.9 in) high, has a diameter of 56 centimetres (22 in), and a capacity of about 70 litres (15 imp gal; 18 US gal). It was made from seven curved plates of bronze riveted together, forming a cooking vessel with a large round body and narrower neck. The opening flares out, strengthened with corrugations around the rim, which has a separate tubular binding. Two ring handles are attached to riveted straps. As a large vessel for preparing food or drink, it may have been used for communal feasts, and has the patches and repairs from use over an extended period, perhaps several generations.

  • Der Kessel von Battersea (englisch Battersea Cauldron) ist ein Bronzegefäß, das auf 800 bis 700 v. Chr., den Beginn der Eisenzeit datiert wird. Er ist einer von rund 60 ähnlichen eisenzeitlichen Kesseln in Großbritannien und Irland. Der Kessel wurde 1857 bei Bauarbeiten für die Chelsea Bridge, im Schlick der Themse in der Nähe der Battersea Bridge in London gefunden. Er wurde kurz nach seiner Entdeckung vom British Museum gekauft. In der Umgebung wurden weitere römische und keltische Waffen (unter anderem der Waterloo-Helm und der Battersea-Schild) und Skelette gefunden, was Historiker vermuten lässt, hier habe 54 v. Chr. Julius Caesars Überquerung der Themse im Zuge seiner Britannienfeldzüge stattgefunden. Der Kessel ist 40,5 Zentimeter hoch, hat einen Durchmesser von 56 Zentimetern und ein Fassungsvermögen von etwa 70 Litern. Es besteht aus sieben gebogenen und vernieteten Bronzeplatten, die ein Gefäß mit einem runden Körper und einem schmaleren Hals bildeten. Die Öffnung erweitert sich, verstärkt durch Riffelungen am Rand, die eine separate Bindung aufweisen. Zwei Ringgriffe sind an vernieteten Trägern befestigt. Als großes Gefäß für die Zubereitung von Speisen oder Getränken wurde es möglicherweise für Feste verwendet und hat Flecken und Reparaturen. Er war über einen längeren Zeitraum, vielleicht mehrere Generationen, in Gebrauch und wurde möglicherweise absichtlich als Opfer in den Fluss geworfen. (de)

It may have been deliberately placed in the river as a religious sacrifice. The cauldron was found in 1861 from dredging in the River Thames near the new Chelsea Bridge, which connects Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south bank. It was bought by the British Museum from William Godwin shortly after it was discovered. (en)
