Description: | Medieval ceramic vessel ornament, 53mm long and 30mm in diameter. The object is in fair condition and weighs 53.40grams. The object is made from a Nottinghamshire ware which has a grey fabric with heavy sand tempering. It has a pale grey surface with patches of thick dark green glaze in places. The object is cylindrical in form with an internal diameter of 13mm. It has a human face applied to its surface which takes up two thirds of it area. It has an exaggerated, protruding chin and large nose. It has round eyes formed of cup and ring depressions and large protuding ears at each side. Above the face is a horozontal step which may represent the start of a helmet or a rim? The object is probably part of a Knights jar and represents the central human figure which would have been placed near the neck of the vessel, opposite the handle, and may have formed a spout. | 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: | 1100
