Description: | A cast copper-alloy knife end cap of Post-Medieval date. It is anthropomorphic in form with transverse slot at the base containing the corroded remains of the iron tang. The object is oval in form with transverse grooves at top and bottom of its outer edges. Projecting from the top is an anthropomorphic terminal in the form of a forwards facing head. This is circular in form with flat back face, deep curving groove at the top separating face and head/hair, circular indentations for eyes and two transverse grooves that delineate the nose and mouth. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 21.97mm in height, 12.18mm in width, 9.53mm in thickness and 10.47g in weight.This is a copper-alloy knife end cap of Post-Medieval date. It finds parallels in examples recorded through the PAS (especially WMID-A72D41, BERK-C01236, BERK-122207, SUSS-E86B06 and NLM-F34325) with suggested date ranges in the 16th century AD.
