Description: | A copper alloy terminal in the form of a wolf's head. The neck of the wolf extends into a flat, oval-sectioned curved strip that appears to branch into two where it is broken. The wolf's head is elongated with an open mouth and protruding, pointed tongue. The nose is small and rounded and widens to a V-shaped forehead with slanting eyes below. The ears are pointed and upright.The function of this fragmentary object is not known; the wolf's head may be the terminal of a handle. It could also possibly have functioned as a prick spur.
