Titre: Aquamanile in the Form of a Griffin
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Aquamanile in the Form of a Griffin. Culture: German, Nuremberg. Dimensions: H. 31.9 cm, w. 12 cm (chest without wings), l. 32.3 cm (including spout), wt. 3588 g and 488 g (wings).. Date: ca. 1425-50. This magnificent aquamanile in the form of a griffin with (separately cast) outstretched wings can be grouped stylistically with the unicorn (64.101.1493) and a few other examples that were probably produced by the same Nuremberg workshop in the second quarter of the fifteenth century. The aquamanile was filled through a hole between the ears, and water was poured from the spigot in the chest, likely a rare surviving original element.
