Description: | A cast copper-alloy knife end cap of Post-Medieval date. it is oval shaped in form and section, with a transvrse groove on the bottom face that contains the remains of a very corroded iron knife tang. To either side of the top of the end cap is a moulded knop in the form of a scallop shell. The object has suffered from some post-depositional wear and in places has traces of a pale green patina. It measures 15.56mm in length, 12.12mm in width, 9.01mm in thickness, and weighs 7.54g. This knife end cap is similar to an example recorded on the PAS database from North Yorkshire (SWYOR-2FA3D4) and dates to the 16th or 17th centuries AD.
