Description: | A Copper alloy terminal knob possibly from the handle of a mace or sceptre broadly comparable to the finds from Waldingfield, SF-427411, Willingham Fen, Cambridgeshire, and from Wanborough Roman temple, Surrey, see R. Hobbs, Treasure - Finding Our Past (British Museum 2003, 142-144 and Fig 110 p 145; see also M. Henig, Religion in Roman Britain (Batsford 1984), 136-141 and Plate 62 (p 140). It is therefore perhaps most likely to be Roman in date. The terminal is hollow with a central circular hole through it, it is a rounded knob at its end and this tapers into a cylindrical shaft. It measures 20.84mm in length and 25.09mm in width across the terminal and 15.89mm in diameter across the shaft. It has a dark brown patina with patches of pale green corrosive products.
