Description: | A cast copper-alloy zoomorphic terminal from a drop handle of Medieval date. It is oval shaped in section with a central circular perforation that would have held in place the cylindrical handle. The terminal is decorated with the head of an animal, most likely a dog or wolf. It has a flattened snout and open triangular mouth defined by incised grooves. The eyes and nose are also defined with grooves although all are very worn. It measures 15.90mm in length, 13.43mm in height, 11.06mm in thickness and weighs 10.48g.It is similar to examples published from London (Egan, 1998, no 487).
