Description: | A Late Medieval (1400-1500) sheet copper-alloy end-cap from a scale or whittle-tang knife. It measures 30.39x14.24x1.40mm and weighs 3.02g. In profile the object is arched into a U-shape.The object is sub-oval in shape with a protrusion at one narrow end, and a probable worn break at the other (and missing its protrusion). Both front and back surfaces carry a light coloured concretion, obscuring any detail.At the centre is a rectangular slot (c.4x3mm), now filled with iron corrosion. To the reverse the corrosion extends in a straight line to the end on one side.Such end-caps tend to be given a 15th-century date.
