This fragment preserves part of the lower jaw of a lion head waterspout. Teeth line either side of the water channel. The modeling of this fragment is fine with the gum line and individual teeth carved. The dewlap has a naturalistic quality. With few distinguishing features on this fragment, however, it is not possible to associate it with a comparable example.
