Description: | A complete sheet copper-alloy hilt-plate from a medieval whittle-tang knife. The object is an elongated trapezoidal shape. It is slightly convex in profile and bent down at the narrow end. It has a broadly trapezoidal perforation through the lower surface, nearer the wide end. The object is corroded with a dark-green patina where it survives. No decoration is discernible. Such hilt-plates tend to be given a 15th-century date, although they could be earlier.
