Description: | The end stop from a late medieval or early post-medieval knife, measuring 22.12mm by 17.9mm by 8mm and weighing 12.04g. The object is T-shaped, with a rounded proximal end. This has a tapering scalloped edge. At the other end is a slot, 7mm by 2mm, in which are the remains of the knife's iron tang. A small part of the tang protrudes from the end of the slot. The object is quite worn, but some simple decoration can be seen. This consists of an inscribed line around the base and two further parallel lines, 6mm apart, along the length of the object, on both sides. Although there is no precise parallel, similar objects can be seen in Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' (2001, p. 82-3, 88) which are dated to the sixteenth 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: | 1500
