Description: | A cast copper alloy finial; probably from an item or furniture and dating from the Post Medieval or Modern period. It is in the form of a hexagonal sectioned orb, each face being concave. A short circular sectioned terminal projects from the top, and there is a concave neck below. from the base of the neck projects a circular sectioned spike which probably was fitted into the wood of the furniture. The item is likely to date from the 17th - 19th centuries. The metal has a patchy rough red and green patina, highly suggestive of a fairly recent date.
