A 7 1/2 inch high heavy bronze ewer or aquamanile with an animal head bearing a four sided crown; decorated with geometric patterns, the handle depicts a snake. Has three engraved wild animal scenes around the middle, the base engraved with initials H.K. and N.17 or N.15. Liquid can be poured into the crown and poured out thru the animal's mouth. This has welding or soldering vertically thru the middle section.Various museums and art specialists have been unable to provide any information about where or when this was made.
