Title
Medieval zoomorphic spout (vessel) (obverse)
Description
English: A zoomorphic cast copper-alloy spout probably from a ewer of later medieval or early post-medieval date, that is the 15th or early 16th century. The spout is tubular and terminates in a dog's head with open mouth; the tube spout protrudes from the open mouth. At the other end it curves through ninety degrees downwards, and expands into a long, pointed neck where it would have joined the vessel. The dog head has a moulded nose and prominent, squared brow; the eyes are not distinguished.

A similar fixed spout from a pedestal-base ewer can be found illustrated in Lewis (1987, 4-5; fig. 8a). It dates to the 15th century and was found in the moat at Cardiff Castle. Further spouts recorded on this database (e.g. HAMP-7D9361, SOM-3B6544, and HAMP-332414) attest to their standardised design and high volume of manufacture.
