Description: | A Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy terminal (stop) for a scale-tang knife handle. The stop terminates in a moulded cap, before which there are bifurcate projections which have a rounded recess to fit the tang of the knife, none of which remains. It is 18.7 mm wide, 16.97 mm long, 7.57 mm thick and weighs 11 grams. It is worn with a dark green patina and traces of silvering or tinning remain on the surface. Similar knife stops are illustrated in Read (2001:88, fig. 56) refs: 650-652 where they are dated to the 16th century.
