Description: | Lead-alloy object, possibly a knife guard, dating from the late post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1800. The object is of oblong shape with one long side being a flat oval and the other slightly tapered. There is a long triangular-shaped slit through almost the entire length of the object, suggesting it was moulded around an iron blade. No iron residue remains, however. One of the narrow sides is broken which is probably where the blade was lost. The surface does not look very damaged and it is possible that the lead was 'capped' with, e.g. sheet cu-alloy.
