Description: | A cast-in-one-piece knife or dagger handle terminal knop which has a half-circle at one end with a small projection at the top of the circle. The base of the circle is extended and narrowed to form a neck this expands into a roughly rectangular cross-arm panel with crude multiple linear engraved lateral lines. This section narrows again and finally expands to form a second panel decorated with four straight incised lines, unlike the rest of the object this part is hollow with only front and back panels and no sides, possibly to accommodate the tang. There is a small slot in the centre outside edge of both sides suggesting that some form of fixing such as a rivet may have been present but is now missing. The object has a small amount of black coating but appears to have been cleaned. | Subjects: | handle | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
