Description: | A copper-alloy zoomorphic spout from a Late Medieval ewer.Traces of solder survive on the surfaces of the attachment end, which has a central slot and curves forward into the neck and head of the animal. A spout of circular cross section protrudes from the open mouth of the dog-like head, which is well moulded but of slightly stylised appearance. The ears point upwards, one on either side of the head, projecting slightly above the top of the brow, which has a central ridge but is otherwise flat. The face tapers towards the deeply concave snout, and the eyes are suggested by shallow triangular depressions.Length: 70.9mm; width: 24.3mm; height: 51.4mm. Weight: 84.6g.Lewis illustrates a similar spout, found in the moat at Cardiff Castle, which he dates to the 15th century (1987: 4-5, fig. 8A).
