Description: | A worn lead knife stop or pommel of Post-Medieval date. It is oval in form and section with rectangular notches at the base and a central vertical rectangular aperture. Both faces have moulded decoration in the form of a human face with deep oval eyes with crved eyebrows above and a small circular nose. Any other decorative elements are obscured by post-depositional damage and corrosion. It measures 22.03mm in length, 23.14mm in width, 14.28mm in thickness and 16.99g in weight. This is a Post-Medieval knife pommel with parallels noted in examples from Norfolk (NMS-276C13) and particularly in a group from the Isle of Wight (IOW-F9A684, with references). It is of Post-Medieval date, probably c.17th-19th centuries AD.
