Description: | A cast copper alloy scale-tang knife terminal (pommel), of Post-Medieval date (c.1550-1650 AD). The pommel is sub-rectangular in plan and rectangular in section with a concave curved terminal end and double lobed projections from each side just below the terminal, possibly the remains of debased animal heads (e.g. see records WMID-502A37 and YORYM-C76793). There are incised lines running down the length next to the left and right edges on the front and back. Towards the base of the pommel, a rectangular slot holds the remains of an iron scale-tang handle (for the components of a scale-tang knife, see Every and Richards, 2005, p144). It is 17.7mm long, 15.9mm wide, 9.0mm thick and weighs 12.23 grams.
