Description: | Solid copper-alloy knife end-cap, retaining part of the iron tang. The end-cap is oval in cross-section, and projects from the end of the tang before dividing into two halves giving a Y-shaped effect. Each arm of the Y is U-shaped in cross-section, and the ends are each decorated to resemble a horse's hoof. Each of the flat ends has four dots (representing nails) and two small bumps (representing calkins). Around the end of each arm of the Y, and around the base of the whole end-cap, is a decorative groove. The iron tang (W. 12mm) projects 8mm beyond the base of the end-cap. It is fixed into a slot in the base of the end-cap.
