Roman water spout in the shape of a wolf's head.

Beautifully detailed and full of character it looks like a good boy proudly fetching the paper! 🐾 ❤️

Bronze, 2nd century AD. From Trier (Augusta Treverorum), Germany.

My photo shows a Roman bronze waterspout designed in the shape of an animal’s head — likely a wolf. The animal’s ears stand upright, the eyes are expressive, and the fur is textured with fine lines around the face and neck. The animal’s mouth is open wide, its jaws gripping the water spout outlet. It resembles a dog fetching a newspaper which gives it an endearing quality The water spout outlet has a flat base which flares outwards, reminiscent of the shape of a dustpan (from a dustpan and brush). Water flowed from the spout into a public water trough or fountain. The bronze is dark brown in colour with a greenish patina in places.

Here’s a close-up view of the wolf’s head from the front.

Link to the museum record:

My photo shows a close-up frontal view of the Roman bronze waterspout shaped like the head of a wolf. The wolf has upright, furry, pointed ears, deep-set eyes with an alert expression, and finely carved fur along the forehead and cheeks. It has a long muzzle with well-defined nose and nostrils. Below the mouth is a flared waterspout.

What a charming #Egyptian bronze figure of a shrew! Since shrews are animals that find their way in the dark they were connected to the descending phase of the sun’s nocturnal journey. Late Period (746-332 B.C).
On display at Museum Hohentübingen. 🏺

📷 me

A small bronze statue of a shrew standing on a rectangular base. The figure is elongated with a pointed snout, slender legs, and a long tail, featuring engraved decorative patterns on its back. Displayed against a neutral background with the label number 42.

The most affordable way into Mercedes-Benz motoring in the early '60s was the new W110 190/190D, with its round headlamps and 'fintail' rear. This 1961 brochure in English described it as 'a beautiful safe touring car with many technical innovations'. #weirdcarbs
