Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy knife end cap, decoratively cast in a tri-lobed shape, dating to the 16th century. The bottom of the end cap is circular in plan and has the slot to receive the iron scale tang of the knife. Iron corrosion fills this slot. The sides of the end cap have moulded decoration which forms a tri-lobed pattern. Each of the lobes has a raised fan-shaped section with radiating lines echoing the shape of a scallop shell. There is a groove between each of these lobes. The top of the end cap is triangular in plan. Dimensions: length: 9.64mm; width: 12.50mm; thickness: 11.07mm; weight: 6.09g.
