This object is sub-oval in plan and flat in section and formed from a piece of sheet copper-alloy. Through the centre of the oval is a sub-rectangular aperture which would have held the tang of the knife blade. This plate has been slightly bent at the central aperture, and now retains a mid green colour overall. Similar examples can be found on this database as SOM-83ABB3, SOM-385362, and HAMP-60AB75 dating to the 15th-17th centuries AD.This knife plate measures 32.6mm in length, with a width of 10.6mm and a thickness of 1.2mm. It weighs 1.3 grams.
