At the base of the neck there are single diagonal grooves visible on both faces of the end cap. At the base is a transverse groove border. On the underside is a longitudinal rectangular slot with the remains of an iron tang from the blade/handle.This knife end cap measures 13.36mm in length, 14.05mm in width, 9.34mm in thickness, 6.26g in weight.There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-D9F891), (BERK-D1C8B1), (YORYM-1C6370), (NLM-53D197). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
