Mount from a 15th century laver |

Description |
English: A mount from a copper-alloy vessel of medieval date. The object takes the form of a three dimensional female head and would originally have adorned the handle of a 15th century priest's washing bowl, or "laver". The face is sub-rectangular and has a slightly convex upper surface, upon which are the crudely-depicted (through use of cast lines) eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. The face is framed on both sides by the hair, which has almost vertical outer edges, moulded wavy line indentations, and extends to the chin. The width of the head narrows slightly towards the back and the moulded hair decoration extends across the two vertical sides and the top of the head, where there is a central parting. At the central point of the back of the head is a large circular attachment hole, measuring 11.6mm in diameter by approximately 10mm deep and with a slight bevel to its inner edge. At the bottom of the head is the upper portion of a neck. This is broken off at the bottom. The metal is a dark reddish brown, highly patinated, copper-alloy. The object measures 27.6mm high by 28.7mm wide and 21.5mm deep. It weighs 80.06g. |
