Description: | End-cap from a knife handle, made of copper alloy with decayed solder inside to attach it to the knife's tang. The end-cap is openwork with a solid terminal. Each side has a rectangular perforation next to the terminal, and then a rectangular cut-out at the attachment end. The top and bottom are solid for most of their length, but each have a slot at the attachment end into which the tang would have fitted. A line can also be seen in the solder preserving the line of the tang. The openwork perforations may have had something set into them; otherwise they would not have been very attractive, as the only thing visible through them would have been the solder and the iron tang. The top and bottom end in a transverse ridge, beyond which is the solid terminal; this is a thick disc set in the same plane as the rest of the end-cap.
