Description: | An incomplete hollow post-medieval terminal from an unidentified object. The terminal has an obvious break on one side where it would have been attached to another object. The decorative side of the object has a small band of ring and dot decoration before a plain collar and a line of three large pellets with two small pellets in the space between the large pellets. The terminal widens out from the collar and the sides have three rounded nodules before curving inwards to form a point. At the point there is a pellet which acts as a circular projection. Extending outwards, parallel to the outer edges, there are two zig zag lines which run the length of the terminal from the three pellet collar to the end. Outside of the these zig zag lines there is stylised scrolling detail and between the lines there are twelve pellets in a variety of sizes. The back of the terminal is hollow and the design is visible in reverse. Near the break there is a plate of the same metal which holds the remnants of the rest of the object to the terminal.
