Title
GLO-78CE0A Medieval Vessel mount
Description
English: A late medieval (c.1400-1550) cast copper-alloy integral vessel mount (handle lug) in the form of three-dimensional female head from a late medieval hanging laver (bowl to hold water).

The head has an oval face with flat wavy hair on top that is divided by a centre parting. On the side of the head the hair is shown to be brushed downwards in a series of forward pointing diagonal lines that gather in two large vertical curls that flank either side of the face. In the centre of the face is a low triangular nose that is flanked by lentoid eyes that have pronounced eyelids. Below the nose the mouth is oval with full lips. Below the head the narrow neck is truncated at its base. At the rear of the head is a large circular hollow where the handle would have been mounted.


Several examples of these laver bowl handle attachments have been recorded on the PAS database - see, for example, BH-CC7C87, BH-6D9171, BH-FC1A66, WILT-F50A61, LIN-5224B2, SF-9A1617 and BERK-1F1071. They are thought to date from the 15th century
