Description in Czech: Výlevka aquamanile v podobě koňské hlavy. Kůň je postrojený – po stranách hlavy jsou vedeny lícnice, přes hubu nánosník a nad očima tzv. čelenka. Oči jsou znázorněny drobným důlkem. Vylévací otvor o průměru 10 mm je situován na čele – mezi čelenku a uši. Drobná plastická páska je ještě namodelována mezi ušima. Otěže nejsou patrné, mohly vést z huby koně. Na levé straně krku je patrná výzdoba obdélníkovým rádélkem.
Description: The spout of an aquamanile in the form of a horse’s head. The horse is harnessed – the cheekpieces run down the sides of the horse’s head, the nose is encircled by a noseband, and a browband runs across the forehead above the eyes, which are represented by small hollows. The outlet hole of 10 mm in diameter is situated on the forehead – between the browband and the ears. A small relief ribbon is applied between the ears. The reins, which probably proceeded from the horse’s mouth, are not visible. The left side of the neck is decorated with a rectangular tool.
