A cast copper alloy dog-headed spout from a medieval ewer, probably dating from the 15th century. The spout measures 77mm at its longest point. The curving opening which would have been attached to the vessel body measures 46.1mm by 17mm. The dog's rather angular head, which is 19mm wide by 18.8mm high, consists of two slightly concave vertical rectanglar ears with rounded ends, two hollows in the eye area and a pair of open jaws. A short cylindrical spout, 11mm in length and 10mm in external diameter, protrudes from the dog's mouth. Little of the original surface survives and there is some corrosion.
 Weight: 61.44g.
