Description: | A copper alloy knife pommel of post medieval date. The pommel or knop is shaped into a hollow rectangular socket with concave sides which fitted over the end of the iron tang. Traces of ferrous corrosion survive. The socket is decorated with an incised border on both faces. Above the closed socket is a rounded element with a disc and a central projection above. The knop is 21.4mm long, 14.5mm wide and 6.6mm thick. The knop probably comes from a knife dating from the sixteenth century. Similar examples can be seen on page 93 of "Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition" by Geoff Egan (2005). The knop has a deep brown patina.
