Description: | A copper-alloy knife end-cap of probable early post-Medieval date.The lower portion of the artefact is cuboidal and has a longitudinal slit in its underside, from which a corroded remnant of the iron knife tang projects. The cuboid is surmounted by a longitudinal ridge which extends beyond its sides; above this are three horizontally perforated lobes. The artefact measures 15.7mm wide, 17.2mm high, 6.7mm thick and weighs 6.45g.For a parallel for this end-cap, see PAS record BH-0DB5A3. Brian Read suggests that such fittings are a feature of 16th century knives (2001: 88-89).
