Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy dagger guard, or quillon. The central block is sub-rectangular with a sub-rectangular slot for the tang of the dagger. The projecting arms are octagonal in section, and taper then expand towards the terminals - the end of each terminal is flat, and decorated with two grooved crossed lines. The finger stop projects outwards and downwards from one side of the central block. The octagonal-sectioned 'shank' of the stop is decorated with two transverse grooves, then it expands to form a flat scallop shell-shaped terminal with three radiating grooves. The other side of the stop is undecorated. The opposite side of the central block is decorated with grooved cross-hatching. Probably 14th or 15th century. Length 68.02mm, width (including finger guard) c.32.5mm, thickness (including finger guard) c.26.5mm, diameter of terminals c.11.9mm, weight 49.94g.
