Description: | A copper-alloy quillon from a Medieval dagger. The quillon was located between the pommel and the blade of the weapon and would protect the users hand. The quillon is cast and has a bulb on either side of the blade slot. From these bulbs the quillon tapers slightly and then expands, fitted to the blade. It has moulded linear decoration on each bulb and also around the base, forming lozenge forms where it is socketed for attachment to the handle. The slot for the blade is 20 mm wide and the socket for the handle is 15 mm x 14 mm in size. The object is 42 mm wide and 30 mm long. The object is similar in style to some examples illustrated in Ward-Perkins (1940, pages 39-44; figs 8-9) which are dated from the mid to late 14th century. | 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: | 1350
