Waterspout in the form of a hound early 1st century A.D. Roman Terracotta h. 44.5 cm., l. 63.0 cm. (17 1/2 x 24 13/16 in.) Geographic Attribution: Italy / / Campania Museum purchase, gift of John B. Elliott, Class of 1951 Object Number: y1989-51 Text from: artmuseum.princeton.edu/art/collections/ancient/search/ The original setting of this functional clay sculpture is demonstrated by a number of similar spouts in private houses in Pompeii and Herculaneum that were buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. Set around the compluvium, an opening in the tiled roof, and alternating with spouts in the form of lions, they channeled rainwater into the impluvium, a pool in the house's inner courtyard.

Lion's Head Waterspout Greek, made in South Itay, about 450 BC limestone Inventory # 96.AA.120 Waterspouts on Greek buildings were often shaped as openmouthed lions. A spout was part of a sima, the gutterlike element that drained rainwater from a roof. This lion's head waterspout was carved separately from the sima and was probably attached as a replacement on a small building. Text from the Getty Villa museum label.
