Description: | An incomplete decorated bone knife handle most likely to be early post medieval in date. This handle measures 44mm in surviving length, and flares towards one end from a width of 10.7mm to a width of 18.8mm. It has an oval cross-section and is 11.1mm in thickness. All faces are decorated with a flowing incised design which appears to have been done freehand, it consists of ovals with diagonal grooves within them, circles with dots in their centres and continuous spirals. Within the handle there is a mass of corroded iton, presumably the remains of a knife tang. This handle was found with five sherds of delfware, another bone possible handle blank and a fragment of a baluster glass stem. | 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: | 1650
