Description: | A cast copper-alloy hilt-plate from a medieval/early post-medieval knife handle. The object is sub-oval in form and would have served as one end of the handle. It is basically pointed-oval in shape with both ends squared off. There is a sub-rectangular perforation through the object to take the knife's tang and blade; the blade would have gone in the more bevelled end featuring a slot at one short end. Similar objects have been recorded in the literature (e.g. Read 2001, 88; fig. 56) and on this database (e.g. SF7232, HAMP3408, SF3932).
