Title
Medieval Pottery Aquamanile
Description
English: Fragment of a medieval pottery aquamanile in hard reduced sandy lead-glazed ware: the spout is in the form of a dog's head and collared neck with the impressed details of eyes, teeth and nostrils. The ears survive only as stubs and are surrounded by dots within grooves that extend down between the eyes to form a loop filled with dots. The head has been inserted into the neck, which would have formed part of the main body during manufacture. The collar is formed from an applied strip. The fabric bears some similarity to Grimston ware, but the pale grey colour and hardness suggest that it may have been made at another local centre, in the period c.1250 - c.1350. The object weighs 109g. Aquamaniles were used to dispense water for the washing of hands at the table. Some very fine examples in copper alloy have survived. Pottery examples were made in the form of horses (sometimes with riders), stags, rams and bears. This canine piece is unusual.
