Title |
Late Medieval: Zoomorphic (Dog) Ewer spout |
||
Description |
English: 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 62.62mm in length, 18.86mm width, is 56.09mm high and weighs 66.9grams.
The spout can be divided into two distinct areas. The first area is at the rear of the spout; this is undecorated and consists of a swan neck with a large sub-rectangular / irregular oval opening, which measures 50.93mm in length and 16.45mm in width, the metal here is 3.36mm thick. This part of the spout would have been soldered onto the copper alloy body. The second area is at the front of the spout; this area is decorated with a cast zoomorphic dog head design consisting of two raised concave areas (ears) and two concave panels (eyes). A central ridge, 2.62mm wide, is present on the crown of the head, between the two ears. 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 10.05mm and internal of 5.15mm.
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.
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. |
