Description: | Fragment of medieval knife handle cover of tinned copper alloy sheet folded and butt-jointed into the remains of an almond sectioned tube, the outer face with traces of engraved decoration. The surviving terminal flares outwards at the point and is closed by an additional sheet (Width 11mm, height 14mm). This is decorated with the remains of an engraved bust. Similar objects have been recorded by the PAS (Northamptonshire no other details, Englefield, Berkshire BERK-D63307, Cerne Abbas, Dorset SOMDOR-B64288 and Shillington, Bedfordshire BH-9BSEC1). A rather more elaborate example on a whittle tanged knife was recovered from a context of the second quarter of the 16th century in Amsterdam (Baart et al.(1977), 332, no. 630). Surviving length 8mm. 15th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
