Description: | A cast copper-alloy end-cap (pommel) from a scale knife of post-medieval date. The small end-cap is in the form of a stylised fleur-de-lis (Geake 2001, 75). This is a relatively common 16th/17th-century design which can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 125; ref. 793). It features a trefoil terminal above a moulded collar; the moulding is only prominent on the shorter faces and does not extend all the way across the longer faces. The longer faces feature a tranverse groove at the attachment end. On both faces there is a punched circular recess in each of the three terminal trefoil lobes - six in total. There is a crude slot in the attachment end in which the tang would have been housed. The object is now dark red-brown in colour with areas of light green corrosion product. | 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: | 1550
