Description: | End-cap from knife handle made from copper alloy, dating to 16th century. The end-cap or 'end-stop' is shaped like a horses hoof wearing a horse shoe with the tacks clearly visible. The end-cap has a slightly tapering slot at one end which would have been filled with iron from the tang. A similar parallel can be seen in Metal Artefacts of Antiquitiy, Brian Read, pages 83 & 88, Fig. 56, No. 661 described as post-medieval end-stops'. The object weighs 11.61 grams and measures 18.5mm in length and 12mm in width across the slot for the tang. | 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
