Description: | A copper-alloy medieval knife handle. This object is roughly rectangular in shape measuring 47.2mm in length and 14.5mm in width, with a thickness of 8.4mm. One terminal is split with scalloped U-shaped edges and two parallel rivet holes on both faces. Inside this split end there is a mass of corroded iron, implying that the object is hollow and an iron element was fitted into it, possibly an iron knife blade. The terminal end is rounded with small transverse mouldings above it, on its sides. There is a hole in the base of the rounded terminal again filled with iron corrosion, this hole is roughly circular and measures 5.3mm in diameter. Compare KENT-003F45, still in place on its iron tang. This has been identified as late 14th- or 15th-century.
