Medieval spout in the form of a dog viewed from above |
||
Description |
English: Cast copper alloy medieval pouring spout in the form of a dog’s head. This object is subrectangular in plan and sub oval in section, with the sides being slightly angular. Viewed from the side, it curves at an obtuse angle. It is 69.48mm long, 26.94mm at the widest point and weighs 131 grammes.Cast as one piece, the dog’s head is crudely rendered. The ears are sub oval in shape and stand proud to either side of the head. They have a vertical groove to represent the folds of the ear. The eyes are forward facing and formed from incised lines in a lentoid shape. Above the eyes is a line of crudely stamped dots that represent the brow. From the brow, running backwards between the ears is a series of six incised lines running horizontal to the brow. The muzzle of the dog is plain except for two semicircular, incised lines at the end of the snout that represent the nose. The underside of the object is plain. The dog is holding an integrally cast, open ended, plain, barrel in its mouth that forms the pouring spout. There is a triangular shaped notch in the upper rim of the barrel. The back of the dog’s head extends into the neck. This is broken, but would have presumably extended further into a flared body that would have been the area for soldering onto a vessel. The point of the break is worn smooth, suggesting that the damage occurred in antiquity. The over all patina of the object is an even mid green Exact parallels for this spout can be seen on a hanging laver bowl in the British Museum which dates to the 15th century. However many of these spouts date to the 16th centuries and examples can be found in Bailey, 1997, Detector Finds 3, page 58. |
