Description: | A cast, copper alloy, zoomorphic mount in the shape of a dog's head, dating from the medieval period. Traces of gilding remain on the upper surface and there is a single, circular mounting stud on the underside. It has a smooth, dark green patina. The animal has an open snout, a ridged nose, bulbous eyes and triangular ears. It is similar in style to Ewer spouts which suggests a late medieval date, probably in the 15th century.
