Copper-alloy, 22.74 grams, 77.39 mm. 9th-5th century BC. A (drinking horn ?) terminal cast in copper-alloy with a plain transverse disc finial. The shank of the terminal is gracefully arced to continue the curvature of the horn, the end of which sat within the cone and was secured by a rivet which is still in situ. Stylistically, the discoid terminal resembles the clubbed ends of some Late Bronze Age bracelets (e.g. the example from Llanrhaiadr-ym-Mochant) and the socketing method is found on Bronze Age spearheads (e.g. the example from Heathery Burn Cave).

The Ancient Bronze Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain and Ireland, London, 1881, p.312. Very fine condition. Provenance: ex old European collection.
