Description: | A complete cast copper alloy terminal ferrule of modern date. The terminal is hollow and in the form of an animal head, possible that of a dog, with long snout and recessed eyes. The fur pattern is suggested by irregularly organised wavering designs. The open end is marked by a raised border and a length of wood survives within the recess. The surviving wood suggests this subject may have been a decorative top for a pencil or stylus or maybe a small walking stick/cane.The metal has a light reddish-brown patina and survives in good condition. The terminal is 20.8mm long, 18.7mm wide, 9.9mm thick and weighs 4.4g.
