Aquamanile in the Form of a Lion in the Cloisters, October 2010
Aquamanile in the form of a Lion
Date: ca. 1400
Geography: Made in Nuremberg
Culture: German
Medium: Copper alloy
Dimensions: Overall: 13 1/8 x 13 3/8 x 4 3/4 in., 11.764lb. (33.3 x 34 x 12.1 cm, 5336g) Overall PD: 12 9/16 x 4 5/8 x 12 1/2 in. (31.9 x 11.8 x 31.8 cm) Thickness PD: 3/50-7/50 in. (0.16-0.35 cm)
Classification: Metalwork-Copper alloy
Credit Line: The Cloisters Collection, 1994
Accession Number: 1994.244
Description: Aquamanilia, from the Latin words meaning "water" and "hands," served to pour water over the hands of priests before celebrating Mass and of diners at meals (see also 64.101.1492). This hollow vessel, cast in the lost-wax process, is rendered in the form of a proud and alert lion. The rear edges of all four legs have been notched and engraved to suggest fur, and the long mane covering the entire chest has been rendered in low relief and incised to achieve surface detail. A dragon forms the vessel's handle, and a dragon-head spout supports the spigot extending from the lion's chest.
