Description: | A complete sheet copper-alloy hilt-plate from a medieval whittle-tang knife. The object is ovoid in shape and slightly convex in profile. It has a broadly central rectangular perforation through the lower surface. The hilt plate is bent at the pointed end. The object is corroded with a dark-green patina where it survives. No decoration is discernible. Such hilt-plates tend to be given a 15th-century date, although they could be earlier. A parallel can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 88; ref. 642).
