Description: | A silver ferrule, possibly for a knife, with incised decoration dating to the 16th century.The object is made from sheet silver and has a pointed oval shape in plan. The sides are straight and the edges are cleanly cut with little evidence for damage apart from a break. This has folded over and may have been repaired as the break is very neat.The front of the object displays incised decoration. There appears to be a set of initials in blackletter script, perhaps I T S all in the lower case. The background consists of incised lines to create a cross-hatching effect. There is no decoration on the sides of the object.
