Description: | Post-Medieval folding knife handle with horse shoe decoration on the end. A fragment of the iron blade remains. It measures 21x13x8mm and weighs 7.50g.
The copper alloy handle is oval in cross section (14x13x8mm) and its end is at approximately 75 degrees to the handle. The end is moulded to resemble a horse shoe: six small circular indentations are arranged on a raised outer edge, and there are two small protrusions at the bottom of each end of the horse shoe. The handle has two pairs of ridges running parallel to the slope of the end. The blade end is at 90 degrees to the body of the handle and decorated with a third pair of ridges.
The iron blade is covered in a compact corrosion product. It is 14mm long, 6mm of which is within the handle, 11mm wide and 2mm thick.
It dates to the 16th/17th centuries. | 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
