Description: | A late Early Medieval copper alloy ferrule from a knife or staff terminal, probably dating 1000-1100. The ferrule is cylindrical with four pointed projections extending from the rim. One is incomplete, and that opposite it appears to be thicker and longer than the other two that flank it. Quite whether this is due to damage is difficult to say given that this record has been created from photos sent by the finder (record will be updated when object is seen). The exterior is decorated with a moulded geometric design comprising two inverted 'S'-shaped motif running horizontal around the rim.Compare four other examples on the PAS database: LEIC-F826C5, NARC-6D8F97, NMS-6B81F1 (from Walsingham, Norfolk) and HESH-4B4686.
