Description: | A worn cast copper alloy knife terminal from a scale tang knife, dating to the late medieval or early post-medieval period. The object is worn and it is hard to decipher exactly what form this object originally took; scale tang knife terminals can be anthropomorphic, rectangular of commonly, stylised horses' hoofs. The object may be anthroponorphic, detailing a human in a pointed hat or helmet however this is far from certain. The underside of the end cap has a slot which would have housed the iron tang from the original knife. These knives were common from c. AD 1400-1600.
