Description: | This finial is composed of an animal which sits upon a base formed from a short, circular tube. The animal has been simplistically rendered. The eyes are defined by two small indentations and two pointed ears stand erect upon the head. The animal also wears a ring around its neck. The base has been decorated with a simple pattern formed from grooves - a line encircles the top and bottom and in between these on either side are two curves. A hole pierces either side of the base. The object is made from bronze which is dark brown in colour and has a smooth, shiny surface. A green deposit has formed in patches on the surface.
