Description: | A copper alloy spout from a drinking vessel. The piece sub-rectangular in profile and in plan tapers from a flat end to a blunt point at the other end. It is sub-circular in section with a tapering bore which passes through the centre of the piece to exit through the mouth of a zoomorphic design at the blunt end - possibly a dog or lion. The design has an open mouth, clearly defined eyes which appear recessed from the front and has ears behind them. The rear is flat and being unbroken, suggests that this piece should fit against something else. It has a greenish patina.
