Description: | A cast copper alloy knife handle terminal (pommel / end-cap). The terminal has a thick rectangular body from the top of which projects an integrally cast semi-circular loop with a lozenge-shaped cross section. The two faces of the rectangular body is decorated with a crudely incised design of linear outer panel surrounding a horizontal wavy / zig-zag line. The underside of the terminal retains a portion of the iron scale tang, which is recessed into the terminal's rectangular body.No direct comparison for this object could be found in a search of the usual literature; the style of it suggests a late medieval / Post-medieval date (c. AD 1550 - 1700). Many small knife end caps dating to this period have been recorded on this database.
