Description: | Post medieval cast copper-alloy end cap (finial) from a scale-tang knife dating to the 16th to early 17th centuries AD. It is a tri-lobed in plan with three round ended leaves, the outer two curved outwards flanking a longer central leaf. The central leaf has a broad groove running down the centre on both sides and the outer leaves thin towards their outer edges, the underside of the curve, leaving thicker raised edges at the joins between the three leaves. There is an incised line running around the base adjacent to the rest of the handle, on both sides. There is a thin slot running down the centre for 2.4mm, about a sixth of its depth, filled with iron corrosion from the iron knife tang. It is 16.2mm long, 16.6mm wide and 4.7mm thick and weighs 4.59 grams.WAW-C05EF6 on this database is similar.
