Title

Description
English: Cast copper alloy Medieval to Post Medieval zoomorphic spout from a 15th-century pedestal-base ewer.

In profile it forms a curvaceous shape, with a terminal in the shape of a dog's head. The mouth of the dog is wide open, with an integral short tube protruding. The snout is slightly moulded on the upper surface which is slightly narrowed. The underside of the snout is undecorated. The head is slightly angular, with a sub-rectangular ear on each side of the head; the ears protrude upwards above the crown of the head. Behind the head the spout curves downwards, but this portion of the spout is open and forms a semi-cylinder rather than a tube. The surface of the spout has a dark grey/green patina on the exterior.

These spouts were fixed to pedestal-base ewers, but are normally now found detached. A ewer with a similar spout is shown in J.M. Lewis' paper 'Bronze Aquamaniles and Ewers' (1987: Finds Research Group Datasheet 7, pp 4-5 fig 8a). This example is from a later pedestal-base ewer discovered in the moat at Cardiff Castle and dated to the 15th century.
