Aquamanile in the form of a lion, anonymous, c. 1400 Canvas Print
The object cast in cire perdue technique and largely nicknamed has the shape of a lion, details of which (such as mane, eyes and mustache) have been highlighted. The lion has on the back a dragon, which serves as a handle, and which is connected to the tail of the lion. This one has slightly withdrawn the head, looks out in front of it and has opened the mouth, so that the tongue and four tusks are visible. The head is modeled in such a way that through lines can be observed from nose to eyebrow ears. In the head, a flap attached to a hinge is cut out to fill the object with water. Chest, front of neck and head are covered with mane. The backward-looking dragon is connected to the lion's head with the two legs and neck. The tail of the lion, which has a widening in the middle and is flamed at the end, is raised in such a way that it is connected to the dragon's back. At the bottom of the lion's chest, a diere head has a tap, the handle of which of the stopper is shaped like a bird. The claws and the lower parts of the four legs are additions from later times.
