Description: | A copper alloy and iron knife end cap. The end cap is cylindrical and is 21.2mm long and 11.8mm in diameter. It consists of a heavily corroded iron tang which was probably flat making it a scale tang, and a copper alloy decorative end cap. The iron tang projects from one end of the end cap which is closed at the other end. The copper alloy is decorated with incised lines forming two crosses, one on each side. The copper alloy is brown with a patchy white patina. Knives with similar decoration can be seen in "Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition" by Geoff Egan (2005). An early post medieval date seems most likely.
