Description: | A cast copper alloy Post-medieval knife end-stop. The decorative terminal represents an anthropomorphic stylised head, possibly depicting a female wearing a hood similar in style of a Tudor gable hood or perhaps a simple crown. The facial features are formed with simple grooves for the eyes and mouth but the nose is slightly raised. The cylindrical bolster the head springs from is decorated with a faint zigzag of punched dots. The slot at the base of the terminal. where the tang of the knife would have fitted. is too heavily corroded to determine the shape. Probably 16th Century. See also SWYOR-CF2FC8.
