Description: | A copper-alloy end cap for an iron knife, the tang of which would have joined this end cap through a slot at one end and fitted into it. This end cap is rectangular in plan and measures 15mm in length and 13mm in width, it is solid and oval in cross-section with a thickness of 11mm. Both faces are decorated with an incised cross and the top face has an incised six-pointed star. At one end the slot for the tang of the knife is visible and has the remains of corroded iron within it, all that is left of the iron knife. This end cap is likely to be 16th century in date (Geake 2001, 76). | Subjects: | End cap | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
