Cauldron
A
cauldron (from Latin 'caldarium,' hot bath) is a large metal-made pot for cooking and/or boiling over an open fire, usually attached to a hanger with the shape of an arc. In legend, a cauldron is usually where
leprechauns keep their treasure, and also where
witches prepare their
potions, most notably the weird sisters in the play
Macbeth. As a cooking vessel it is mostly obsolete. It is believed that a predecessor of the
Holy Grail myth was a cauldron.
