Description: | Cast copper alloy knife handle. Roman.The end has a standing ram with a short tail and suggestings of curled horns (although the horns are corroded and the figure may be a dog with a docked tail). Figure stands 15mm tall on a platform which is fixed onto the rounded end of a knife handle. Handle is circular in section but with slightly flattened sides to aid handling, 34mm long and 8mm at its widest towards the shaft. There are spiral marks around the handle to create the impression of binding. There are some remains of the iron knife towards the end, which is rectangular in section.
