Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval zoomorphic vessel spout dating from AD1300 - AD1500. The spout is cylindrical and at the back has an oval shaped cross section. The spout becomes thinner towards the front creating a tear drop shaped cross section. The front of the spout slopes downwards to form the snout of the animal. Running through the spout is a hole that tapers downwards towards the front. The hole measures 6.89mm in diameter tapering to 4.11mm. The spout is decorated with a series of moulded lines, formed to create a crude representation of an animal, probably a dog. The hole at the front represents the mouth of the animal. There is casting damage at both the top and the bottom of the spout, running the length of the body. The spout measures 18.22mm in length, 11.26mm in width tapering to 7.68mm, 15.26mm in height and weighs 12.92g.For similar examples on the PAS database see WILT-DF2FE0 or HAMP-8124B5.
