Zoomorphic spout from a pitcher (Flanders, 14th century)

Glazed earthenware head of a grinning monster (wolf?). Mischievous and hilarious. Straight out of a comic book. Probably from a water and/or beer pitcher. A rare piece. On a contemporary custom made stand.
Dimensions (without stand): 12x11x6cm
