Description: | A copper alloy knife handle with some remains of the corroded knife blade remaining.The handle is cast in two parts, with iron staining from the blade showing through the join. What remains of the blade has corroded into a ball. However, the blade is still visible in cross-section, and appears to have been 15mm wide and eliptical in section, being thicker in the centre. The copper alloy handle has moulded floral decoration, which is seen on some key handles of the 16th century. The handle is oval in section and is 12mm deep at the blade and widens to 17mm towards the terminal.The object is 90mm long, with corrosion obscuring the exact length of the handle.
