Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy tang of a knife, or dagger, blade. Wedge shaped at the end, 18mm wide. Two notched are cut into the blade at 5mm and 15mm along the thinner edge. A copper alloy rivet is in place through the blade approximately 20mm from the edge. The rivet is of a light green patina and is 5mm in diameter, hollow and folder over at the ends.
