Description: | An almost complete socketed knife with some corrosion to the blade which is almost straight sided to approximately two-thirds of the way down where the sides curve inwards to the tip which is corroded too much to be certain of its original shape. One face of the blade has a large section of mineralised organic woven material attached. The blade has no obvious midrib of facets, there is a single moulded ridge at the junction between the socket and the blade. The socket is slightly 'waisted' in plan, with a single shallow mouth-moulding. There is a circular aperture, presumably the peg hole, on one face and a corroded hole on the other, presumably at the point of the aperture on that side. The mouth is oval, the socket is a waisted oval in cross-section, and sub-triangular in profile. | Subjects: | Socketed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
