Bronze terminal or handle in the form of a dog resting its head on its front paws. It may originally have been part of a folding stool.
Described by Mr Edmund Jones in 1862 as a “very elegant relic…it is the figure of a dog’s head and shoulders in bronze, and has formed a most ornamental handle of some instrument, probably of a steel, from the iron portion having been square. The workmanship is exceedingly good.”
