O soše
Lion Aquamanile, a water vessel dated 1200–1250, is displayed in gallery 106C of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. It supplied water for washing hands, a practice observed at church altars and wealthy households’ dining tables. Aquamaniles could resemble imagined creatures, including dragons and unicorns, or familiar animals. This example takes the shape of a lion.
Slovy muzea
An aquamanile is a water vessel used for washing hands both at church altars and at the dinner tables of upper-class patrons. They often took the form of fantastic beasts such as dragons and unicorns or animals such as horses, birds, dogs, and lions, like this one.
