Description: | Knife handle and part of the blade of a whittle tanged knife, dating to the 17th century. The knife handle is ivory and oval in section, slightly flaring out towards the terminus. This flat surface is carved with the initial T.B and a floral scroll motif around, they have been carved in mirror image, and suggest (as the letters are back to front) that they were used as a form of stamp or seal. The iron blade and shoulder are too corroded to gain anymore information from. | 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: | 1600
