Description: | A probable fragment of a copper-alloy hound and hare Roman folding knife handle. The fragment is very worn and rectangular in shape measuring 22mm in length and 15mm in width. Part of the body and legs of probably the hound survive, the hound is running along a horizontal bar. No trace of the longitudinal slot that would be expected along one edge for the iron blade of the knife to folded into can be seen. This could however, be due to wear. Other hound and hare knife handles have been discovered at Hitcham, Suffolk (see SF-9D6625) as well as from Freckenham, Suffolk, (see SF4895).
