Title
A cast copper alloy terminal of uncertain date
Description
English: A cast copper alloy terminal of uncertain date and function. It is sub-triangular in plan and trapezoidal in section. The large knop has a rounded point at the end, and the base of the triangular shape is attached to a round projection. The projection expands into a round collared rivet, where it breaks. It is red in colour with light green patches of corrosion. It is in good condition, with one old break. It It measures 15.25 mm L x 18.01 mm H x 9.93 mm TH and weighs 10.41 g.

It is possible that this is a globular pin head, although no parallel has been found. It may also be a pommel or a portion of a handle.
