Description: | A small silver handle, possibly for a knife, with a terminal loop in which is a separate silver attachment ring, 5.70mm in diameter. The handle is of D-shaped section and tapers inwards to an incomplete petalled edge at the open end. The attachment loop is mounted on a separate D-shaped plate which has a notched edge. The sides of the handle are all decorated with engraved work; the decoration is divided into two zones by a band of two lines infilled with diagonals. Between this dividing band and the D-shaped terminal plate is a zone of indistinct decoration probably intended to represent letters (on the two wider sides at least). Below the dividing band is a series of four triangles infilled with hatching. Radiating lines fill the areas between the traingles. A single tiny rivet survives near the open end and this secured whatever the handle may have held.
