Description: | Cast copper alloy oval item with a rectangular slot through it; probably the guard from a small tanged knife. There are traces of copper alloy in the slot which is 15.6mm long by 2.6mm wide on one side and 7.4mm long by 2.5mm wide at the other suggesting the blade was narrowing into a tang to go through the hilt. It is likely to be medieval or post medieval in date.
The item is 16.4mm long, 8.3mm wide, 4.3mm thick and weighs 2.04 grams.
It was found on the beach and has an unusal patina and heavy corrosion. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
