Description: | Cast copper alloy knife end stop dating to c.16th century.It is oval in cross-section. In plan it is rectangular. It is split into sections- there is a central triangle with an oval on each side at the top. The ovals have incised lines in the shape of 'V's as decoration. At the bottom of the object is a slim rectangular projection, possibly to enable the stop to attach to the tang. This appears to be made of iron.A similar end-stop can be seen in Read's book (2001; 83 and 88; fig 56, no.653).
