Description: | A handle, possibly from a medical implement, perhaps a scalpel, consisting of an octagon-sectioned shank with incised transverse lines at the slotted end, and broken across a possible transverse perforation with iron staining on the inner faces (slot >4mm) from missing inserted iron blade, terminal with dot in end, rectangular-sectioned baluster, twin ribs, baluster, single rib. >65mm x 5mm. Cf. octagonally-facetted handles from a scalpel/dissector, see broadly similar types (with leaf-shaped terminals) in Jackson (1986), 'A set of Roman medical instruments from Italy', Britannia 17: 119-67, fig.1.
