Description: | A Medieval iron folding knife with copper alloy case (AD1150-1450). The copper alloy case has been cast in one piece. It is triangular in plan with a rounded terminal. Just below the terminal is moulded decoration in the form of two addorsed ?c?s (back to back). The opposite end is decorated with two transverse incised lines then a wide groove followed by two more parallel transverse lines. This decoration runs around all three surfaces. A deep groove runs down one side, which forms the recess for the blade when folded in. The iron blade is secured and pivots around a single iron rivet in one corner of the handle/case. A large section of the iron blade remains in the folded position. The handle/case has an even mid green patina. The style of the handle is similar to Medieval strap ends.
