Description: | A fragment of a probable Roman knife handle, very similar to more complete examples from Colchester (Crummy 1983, 110, fig 113, no 2938) and Verulamium (Waugh and Goodburn 1972, 124). It is rectangular in plan and cross-section and measures 35.14mm in surviving length, 13.50mm in width and 9.77mm in thickness.
The surviving fragment has a sloping diagonal terminal end with a cut out curvilinear scroll decorating either face of it, there is then a moulded transverse band and above this the start of another cut out rectangular panel. There are three rivet holes through the complete diagonal terminal end, two parallel ones within the transverse mouldings and the other is through the end of the diagonal terminal, these rivets would have held the iron blade in place, there is corroded iron surviving within the handle. | 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: | 43
