Description: | End-cap from a knife handle in the shape of an animal head, perhaps a dog. It is made from solid cast copper-alloy but is now rather corroded. There are two grooves up the back of the neck, and short lines on top of the head, but no apparent ears. There is a line across the brow and two deeply dotted eyes beneath; the nose tilts up slightly and the mouth is another engraved line. There is a line around the base of the end-cap and an oblique line continuing the jawline on either side of the neck. There is plenty of iron corrosion from the tang projecting from the base.
