Description: | A copper alloy knife handle in the form of a knight. The handle is hollow and cast in two halves, with the join visible down the sides. It is poorly preserved, with loss of the back of the head and damage to the side. The blade no longer survives. The handle is shaped in the form of a standing figure with arms in front, one holding the hilt of what appears to be a sword placed in front of the legs. There may be a dog at the feet of the knight, although this is indistinct. Little further detail is visible due to corrosion of the original surface. The width tapers to 11.35 mm and there is a circular socket for attachment to the blade. A similar manufacturing technique can be seen in a knife handle in Read 2001, 82 no. 637.
