Title |
Medieval: Zoomorphic ewer spout |
||
Description |
English: 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 69.6mm length, 19.2mm width, is 53.5mm thick and weighs 78.32 grams.
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 51mm in length and 11.4mm in width, the metal here is 3.7mm 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 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 6.2mm. 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. 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. |
