Description: | A cast copper alloy knife end cap (pommel) from a scale tang knife of post-medieval date, about AD 1500 - 1700. The end cap is in the form of a stylised fleur-de-lis (Geake 2001, 75). It has three lobes at the outer end, each pierced by a circular hole. On each (narrow) side, there is a projecting flange forming a collar before the lobes. There is a slot in the attachment end, now filled with corrosion, in which the tang would have been housed. The object has a dark green patina. The end cap is 15.6mm long, 14.9mm wide and 6.3mm thick. 5.86g.HAMP-A85933 notes that: "This is a relatively common 16th/17th-century design which can be found illustrated in Read (1995, 125; ref. 793)." See also SOM-BBE6E0, BH-71E6D4 and SF-5F44B4.
