Description: | Roman copper alloy knife terminal, 28mm long, 13mm wide and 9mm thick. The object is in good condition with a green patina and weighs 13.38 grams.
The object is oval in section and rectangular in form and has a circular sectioned shaft, 6mm in diameter and 8mm long protruding from one edge. The object is decorated to resemble a lion or more probably a tiger and has two cut away chevrons on its short edge, which form a rough mouth. Above this area on the left side is a circular depression representing an eye. The other side does not have this but appears worn. above the face on the long edge of the object are three incised lines running across the 'back' of the animal and most of the way down each side, giving the impression its a tiger. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
