Description: | Copper alloy decorative pouring spout in the form of a dog?s head. The back of the spout, where it would have attached to the vessel, is undecorated, curved and has a large sub-oval opening, which narrows to a circular opening at the top. The circular opening continues through the front section of the spout. This section is decorated with a cast dog?s head with the circular spout extending from it?s open mouth (internal diameter 7.4mm). The eyes and nostrils of the dog are represented by incised lines, lozenge-shaped for the eyes, with the eyebrows following the line of the top of the eye, and triangular for the nostrils. There is a row of stamped triangles extending across the top of the head and down the sides behind the eyes. There are three raised sub-triangular elements arrange longitudinally along the centre of the top of the head. Dark green patina. | 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 | Temporal: | 1401
