Description: | A very fine cast copper-alloy vessel spout from either a ewer or laver. The spout is tubular with an integrally cast animal head terminal, and was probably made by the cire perdue method as there is no evidnce of a casting seam which would indicate manufacture by two-part moulds. The spout is full 'finished' suggesting that it was cast separately from the body of the vessel and then welded on. This would suggest a 15th to 17th century date. This object has a ?dogs head? Decoration with drop shaped ears which protrude slightly from the top of the head and a ridge running around at the junction between the head and snout of the ?dog.
