Description: | Copper alloy knife stop. The stop is in the form of two opposing animal heads. The heads look like a dog or perhaps a snake. The snout is rounded and has a small ridge to define the opening. On the side of each head is a dot, probably representing the eyes, however there are two further dots on the top of the snout. Either they represent the eyes and the nostrils respectively, or they are intended to the show the eyes of the animal whether viewed from the top or from the side. There is a narrowed collar below the banded terminal. On the underside is a slot containing a fragment of the iron tang. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
