Description: | Cast copper alloy knife handle in the form of a horses head from the Roman period. The head is bent so that it touches the neck. It stands at 20mm high and is 20.5mm wide. The mane stands above the neck and the hair is picked out by grooved slightly S-shaped lines all the way down. The eye is a circular hollow. The teeth appear bared and the nostril is a circular hollow above the mouth. It has the same design on both faces. It is broken at the base with an uneven line. This is where it would have fitted into the handle of the knife. This is just the decorative terminal.
