Description: | Complete cast copper alloy medieval-post medieval knife cap. The object is sub square in plan and subrectangular in section. When viewed in profile, the end of the cap is split into two with a small V shaped profile. The hole for the knife tang is subsquare and passes through the solid end of the cap into the divided portion of the cap. The object is 15.36mm long, 16mm wide and weighs 11.14g. The object is abraded. The original surface survives with an even dark green patina. Exposed surfaces are light green. There are significant patches of bright green corrosion product. This object dates probably dates from the medieval period but could be as late as 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: | 1200
