An incomplete zoomorphic copper alloy knife handle terminal of probable Roman date (AD 43-410). The object depicts some billed creature, most likely a duck. The neck is ovoid in cross section at its narrowest point (8.9mm long, 8.5mm wide) and expands forwards at the basal break. The neck appears to be at least partially hollow, and contains a rectangular sectioned rod of copper alloy, presumably the tang (if the blade was copper alloy) or part of the now missing knife handle. The head is separated from the neck by a ridged moulding around the base of the head. The head itself is roug…
