Description: | Copper alloy knife stop. The stop is roughly trapezoidal and in cross-section has two rounded and expanded upper edges with a central ridge between. When viewed from above the stop has three long ridges. The central ridge is decorated with a series in incised lines, giving it a rope-like effect. The ridge to the left and the right of this have a triangular field with the apex pointing outwards. This field is decorated with tightly clustered dots. When viewed in completeness from above, the two triangular fields form a square set at 45 degrees to the stop. The two shorter sides of the stop are undecorated. The long sides of the stop are decorated in an identical manner to each other. The main side ridges seen on the top of the stop overhang prominantly, and below there two sets of recessed transverse lines, each containing a double row of zig zag lines. There is a line of iron corrosion on the reverse of the stop, representing 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: | 43
