Description: | A complete copper-alloy possible knife for which no published parallel could be found, which may be a ritual miniature object. It is triangular in shape and has a short rectangular handle which is decorated with transverse and longitudinal grooves on both faces, and has a step at its terminal on one face. Below the handle the start of the blade is straight and decorated on both faces with V-shaped notches cut into it. The upper edge of the blade slopes upwards from the handle and is then concave sweeping downwards to the tip of the blade. The lower edge is convex and curves up to a sharp point. The lower edge is thinner than the upper edge, impying that it could have been used as a blade. It measures 57.43mm in total length and 18.33mm in width. | Subjects: | Knife | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
