Description: | Copper alloy Knife Bolster. Cast heater shield shaped plano-convex object with a trapezoidal slot slightly angled at its wider end on the convex side, and with a low lip around the aperture on the flat side. The slot is interpreted as for the accommodation of a V-section knife or tool blade, probably from a small whittle tang knife, with a flange on the flat side to engage a hollow handle and the slight damage on the convex side from pressure exerted by the back of the blade when it was in use. Suggested date: Later Medieval, 1350-1450.Length: 15.4mm, Width: 11.4mm, Thickness: 3.5mm, Weight: 1.63gms.
