Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy spout probably dating to the 15th century AD. The cylindrical spout is zoomorphic in form, depicting a dog's head, with a 'C' shaped arm where it would have joined a vessel. The spout is tubular and terminates in a dog's head with open mouth; the tube spout protrudes from the open mouth. The head has a moulded nose, prominent, rounded brow, and sub-oval grooved ears that protrude slightly above the head; the eyes are not distinguished. There is a raised ridge running from front to back on the top of the head. These spouts are pouring spouts likely to be from a pedestal based ewer like priests washing bowl (laver). Further spouts recorded on the database can be found at HAMP-109444, BERK-135A64, HESH-752594, and WAW-D138E8.The length is 70mm, and the width is 60mm.
