Description: | A zoomorphic copper-alloy spout probably from a ewer of later medieval or early post-medieval date (1400-1550). The spout is tubular and terminates in a dog's head with open mouth; the tube spout protrudes from the open mouth. At the other end it curves through ninety degrees downwards, and expands into a long, pointed neck where it would have joined the vessel. The dog head has a moulded nose, ears and prominent, squared brow, however the eyes are not distinguished. The copper alloy now has a grey-green patina. The spout measures 65.1mm in length, 61.6mm in height and is a maximum of 16.6mm wide. Where the tube exits the dog's mouth it has a diameter of 10.6mm. The spout weighs 63.16g.
