Description: | Medieval or post-medieval copper alloy quillion from a single-bladed dagger, probably dating to the 15th - 16th century. The object's central section is oval in plan with a hole to receive the tang of the dagger. The hole is wider at one end than the other, which indicates the dagger had a single-sided blade.Two arms, circular in section, project from the centre, and a side-guard projects from the side, terminating in a scallop shape with incised lines representing the lines of a shell. There is simple linear decoration near the ends of the arms, an incised cross on the end of each arm and an abstract linear design on the side of the central section. The object is dull grey with patches of white and orange corrosion. It is 59mm long, 29mm wide, 9mm thick and weighs 32.03g.Similar objects recorded on the PAS database include GLO-6C30F0, BUC-E09398, SWYOR-534FF2, ESS-28F6B0 and BERK-920505.
