The handle is in the form of an adult male and female standing together in smart dress, suggesting that the scene represents a marriage and the the artefact was perhaps a marriage gift or part of a set.

His left hand is rested on her shoulder, and his right arm interlocks with hers across the back. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
