Two convex sheets: octagonal width 14mm, with roughly engraved rosette in linear border, and round diameter 15 mm; joined by rod, length 7mm; weakly stamped maker's mark (??)OD, in incised double-line border.

Silver finial in the form of a pine cone, broken off at the base, where it would have joined onto another element. It has been suggested that this may be a knop from a spoon. If this is so, the best comparison known to me is a spoon with enamelled bowl in the British Museum, P&E 1899, 12-9,3, inscribed AVE MARIA, which has been dated to the late 15th Century. The knop on this spoon is more rounded in form and is engraved with rings of regular lines rather than with the much cruder hatching seen on this object. However this object may not be a knop but may have served as some other kin…
