Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy staff terminal or ferrule, cylindrical with scalloped (and damaged) lower edge, two opposed attachment holes in the side, integral, wider, cap-like and slightly convex top, in the centre of which an incomplete and probably annular mount is secured by an integral rivet. The mount is now loose, possibly because a washer between its base and he top has been lost. The top is engraved with an edge-to-edge single line cross and with four chevrons biscented by each arm. No good parallel noted. Length / height (excluding mount) 19mm. Diameter at top 32.5mm, diameter below 29.5mm, internal diameter c.27mm. Perhaps 17th or 18th century.
