Description: | Round-sectioned end-cap of iron scale tang knife, consisting of a conical knop terminal on a bi-cone with median band and a cylinder with slot containing remains of the tang. All surfaces apart from the knop are covered with engraved lines. Those on the median band are broad and deep, the others very fine. No close parallel has been noted in a search for post-medieval knives on the PAS database: one from Queen Camel in Somerset is vaguely similar but is far less elaborate (SOM-EA5220). Length excluding remains of tang is 17.5mm. Diameter is 8.5mm. Dates to the 16th century.
