Bull-head Spout

Pottery spout in the form of bull-head, broken from a zoomorphic vessel or a composite vessel such as a ring-vase (possibly 1894,11-1.525 but this is uncertain) made in White Painted/Bichrome ware; wheel-made with applied details; half of the left-hand horn is preserved and the stump of the spout in the position of the mouth; remains of a double-rib handle at the back of the head, probably from a basket-handle extending across the top of the original vessel; made from fairly fine orange-buff clay decorated with red-purple paint: hatched lozenges and bands on the ndy, bands on the horns. Object Type: vessel-fitting; vase Ware: White Painted Ware (WP I); Bichrome Ware (BiCh I) Techniques: wheel-made; painted
