Title |
Late Medieval: Ewer spout |
||
Description |
English: Fragment from a cast copper alloy zoomorphic (dogs head) tubular ewer spout of later medieval date (1400-1500 AD). The spout is sub-rectangular in plan with a sub-triangular profile. It measures 48.1mm length, 17.3mm width, is 18.6mm thick and weighs 36.47 grams.
The back of the spout is broken and has not been recovered all that survives is the spout. This area is decorated with a cast zoomorphic dog head design consisting of two raised areas (ears) and two concave panels (eyes). The nose / snout of the dog is shown by two further concave panels. A hollow cylindrical pipe extends from the mouth (and is gripped by the jaws) of the dog; it is through this that the liquid would have been poured. The pipe has an external diameter of 11.4mm and internal of 7.1mm. The spout is a mid grey green colour with an even but abraded patina which covers all surfaces. The areas of damage are likely to have been caused by abrasion in the plough soil. Where the abrasion has removed the patina the exposed metal has started to corrode and a light green powdery corrosion product is present. The edges of the spout are most abraded; this abrasion has caused the snout to become irregular in plan and profile. The break is relatively recent as the metal is unpatinated. 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. |
