Description: | A copper-alloy knife end-cap of suggested 16th century date (see Read 2001: 82, no. 650).The artefact has a bifurcate top, each 'fork' being of sub-rectangular section and terminating in an angled surface with a wedge-shaped depression at the bottom. A groove defines the end of each arm, and there is a further, horizontal, groove along the base. At the centre of the flat base, aligned longitudinally and filled with iron corrosion, is the groove into which the knife tang would have fitted. The artefact measures17.7mm long, 9.2mm high and 5.2mm wide. The weight is 3.44g.This is a relatively common form of knife fitting. For parallels on the PAS database, see BH-ADC0A1 and BH-3E6AB0.
