Description: | Post medieval knife; cast copper alloy cap from the end of a knife of probable 16th century date. The cap is in the form of an animal head, possibly representing a dog or a monkey (although it looks more like a seal to a modern eye!). It has a moulded upturned snout and browridge with incised lines for the mouth and deep pellets for the eyes. There are also two further deep pellets at the back of the head, presumably representing ears. The cap has a slit for the blade running from the back of the head to the chin.
