Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy terminal (stop) for a scale-tang knife handle. The stop is in the form of a pair of bifurcating horses hooves with deep incised lines between the pair and seperating the 'hooves' from the 'shoes' which are indicated by an incised central line for the frog, raised calkins at the ends and four punched indents for nail holes on each 'shoe'. The attachment end of the stop is oval and has a slot through it which contains the remains of the iron knife tang, the longer sides have wide incised lines running parallel to the edge between the slots. It is 17.6mm wide, 16.7mm long, 6.9mm thick and weighs 6.58 grams.Similar knife stops are illustrated in Read (2001:88, fig. 56) refs: 650-652 where they are dated to the 16th century.
