Description: | A complete cast lead knife pommel or stop of probable Post-Medieval or Modern date (c. AD 1600 - c. AD 1850). Length: 24.3mm; width: 26.5mm and 14.1mm thick. Weight: 20.89g.The object is largely sub-circular in plan and sub-oval in cross-section. Both sides are similar and depict a moulded human face with furrowed brows, open eyes and a wide nose. Ears at each side are integral with casting seams. Immediately beneath the nose is a rectangular slot that accommodated the upper part of the handle. Another rectangular slot extends vertically through the centre where the tang would was situated. This slot measures 9.1mm x 3.6mm. Similar lead pommels or stops are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds from Rudgwick Parish, West Sussex (SUSS-6AAFA5) and Headbourne Worthy Parish, Hampshire (HAMP1432).
