Description: | Fragment of Medieval sandyware from the Nash Hill kilns, in the form of a spout from a zoomorphic jug or aquamanile (roof tiles have terminals like these too, but these are often bigger).The spout has two eyes in the form of a punched ring with a punched circle for the eyeball inside. A horizontal groove either side of the snout-like spout suggests a mouth, and two indentations at the top of the snout at the end are nostrils. The spout would have been near to the rim.It measures 51.7mm in length, in its fragmentary state. The hole in the spout is 9.7mm in diameter. Its height is 44.8mm. The snout is c.23mm in diameter. It weighs 42.43g.Reference: McCarthy 1974, The Medieval Kilns on Nash Hill, Lacock, Wiltshire, Wiltshire Archaeology Magazine vol.69, no.269.
