Description: | Copper-alloy end-cap from a knife, oval in cross-section at the base (6 x 11 mm) and then bifurcated to end in the form of two horse's hooves. The hooves are small and extremely schematic; there are none of the usual dots representing nails, and the calkins are represented by a high ridge across the base of each hoof. They would be hard to recognise as hooves unless one had seen the type before. There is a groove around the outside of each hoof, and also a groove across each face where the hooves meet. On the underside of this is the stub of the iron tang. 16th century.
