Description: | A copper alloy dagger guard dating from the Post Medieval period. Only one quillon survives. This bends downwards towards the blade. The tang would have fitted through a rectangular slot in the central block, which is decorated with a triangular boss pointing towards the blade. The quillon flares to a thicker squared off end. It is decorated with a foliage pattern and traces of a white metal coating survive. The guard has a length of 66.15mm, width 19.64mm, thickness 10.46mm, weight 22.87g. Other daggers with similar downward pointing quillons are IOW-7012D0 and NLM-C8D887. They, and this example probably dates from the 16th - 17th century.
