Description: | A Medieval copper alloy ewer spout dating from the 15th to 17th centuries. Ewer spouts of this date were made separately to the body of the ewer, to which they were then welded (Lewis, 1987). The front of the spout is a plain triangular projection, through which liquid would have flowed. The rear of the spout is undecorated and is separated from the front by a notch. It slopes downwards to form a large curved opening, which is where it would have been welded to the ewer body. The spout is very similar in shape and style to common zooamorphic form of spout, many of which have been recorded on the database, it could be that the notch behind the front of the spout indicates a planer, stylised form of the animal head design. No exact parallel has been found for this example, thought it is felt to be of similar date to the zooamorphic form, c. 1400-1600.The object is 74.7mm long, 15.6mm wide, 15.8mm thick and weighs 47.43 grams.
