Description: | A cast copper alloy knife end cap of probable early post-medieval date. The hammer head-shaped end cap measures 18.4mm by 11.5mm by 7.6mm and weighs 6.4g. The base, which has an oval cross-section, has a longitudinal slot cut into it. This contains corroded iron which is all that remains of the knife's tang. Two similar end caps feature in Read's Metal Artefacts of Antiquity (2001, p. 89, nos. 663 and 664). | Subjects: | End Cap | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
