Description: | Copper-alloy end-cap from a knife handle. Oval in section, 14 x 8.5 mm, it has a slot in one end which retains corroded iron from the knife's tang. On either face is a raised rectangular panel decorated with an engraved saltire. Towards the other end, opposite the slot for the tang, a projection springs from either side giving the end-cap a T shape. In between the projections, the raised panels meet with a deep U-shaped cut-out in the end furthest from the tang. The end-cap itself measures 16.5 mm long; with the fragment of tang it measures 20 mm long. It is early post-medieval (16th century) in date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1500
