Description: | An incomplete oval copper-alloy Post-Medieval knife handle end cap.The end cap is in the form of a double horse-hoof terminal, each 'hoof' being circular in section and curving away from the other. At the base of the cap is a rectangular slot with the remains of an iron tang, now corroded.This knife handle end cap measures 11.64mm in length, 15.25mm in width, 6.85mm in thickness, 4.62g in weight.There is a similar example on the PAS database from Brockley, Suffolk (SF-410D06). Egan 2005, pp.92 describes these as being of sixteenth century date, most likely of the period 1540-80, but can also feature on seventeenth century knives and spoons.
