Description: | A copper alloy probable dagger quillon or guard of probable late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date. The object has a oval sectioned body with iron running through it. Two arms project from one end; they are circular in section and terminate in a spherical knop. The arms of dagger quillons frequently curve towards the blade, the this example seems to be an unusual example having straight arms which are strongly angled towards the blade. This give the quillon a forked appearance. The metal has apatchy mid green patina. No parallels for this design of dagger have been found, but it is hard to see what other function the object could have.
