Description: | An early post medieval iron incomplete whittle tanged knife and bone or ivory handle probably dating to the late 16th century. Approximately 20mm of the blade is surviving, there is no evidence of a maker's mark visible. The handle is ornately carved with a central spiral section flanked by faceted sections to either side terminating in a turned ball finial. There is a crack along the length of the handle that is typical of ivory. The handle tapers from the ball finial to the blade. A similar knife handle is recorded on the PAS database: LON-1BEF65, although the detail of the decoration differs there are enough similarities to suggest a comparable date.Dimensions: length: 101.50mm; width: 15.41mm; thickness: 11.78mm; weight: 18.43g.
