Description: | Copper-alloy stirrup terminal. The upper part is a partial cylinder, open at the reverse and slightly flaring, and decorated with a wide transverse moulding between two narrower ridges. Nearly all of the upper edge is missing. Below the mouldings the terminal swells into a rounded bulb with a vertical carination down the centre, but no other decoration. At its maximum it is 16 mm wide and 17 mm thick. On the reverse the tube is closed c. 7 mm above the base, with a horizontal end into which the corner of the stirrup would have fitted. The edges of the tube run fairly straight from this horizontal end back up to the top edge, but with a small elegant convex curve at the base. A nicely made and well preserved example.
