Description: | Spout in the shape of an ox head. Circular mouth (9.3mm diameter), with the corners of the mouth on each side angled backwards in a V-shape. Raised lips that are outlined by grooves on the top section of the mouth. Grooved line running from the horns to the mouth separating the face in two. The eyes are a circular depression (4.1mm diameter), with a smaller depression in the centre (1.2mm diameter) representing the pupil, the left pupil (1.7mm diameter) is slightly larger and deeper then the right. Heavy moulding in the top half of the eye, possibly representing eyebrows. The horns rise out of the head above the eyes and sweep slightly forward, the right horn is bent in on its self, in the centre on the horns are ten moulded lines. The sides of the neck widen out to form an oval attachment end, with V-shaped projections top and bottom. Off centre hole on the top projection, remains of two rivet holes on either site with the back sections of the holes where the artefact may have been ripped from its fittings. Much of the dark Green patina remains on the top, nearly all of which has been removed from the bottom section. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
