Description: | An incomplate post medieval copper alloy knife stop, dating to the period c.AD 1500-1700. The knife stop comprises the main body which is oval in cross section. It is broadly rectangular in plan and exhibits two centrally placed moulded longitudinal bands separated by an incised groove. Each band has a series of diagonally incised lines which mirrors the other. The body tapers slightly before expanding out towards the terminus, where it branches out to an arm at each side. One arm is now missing and the projection now terminates in a worn break. The other is intact and curves out and back in before terminating in a foot. There is a worn break at the attachment end to the blade, where the remains of the iron tang are present. The reverse exhibits similar decoration to the front. There is a green-brown patina on the surface.The knife stop measures 13.45mm in length, 16.92mm in width, 6.93mm in thickness and weighs 5.13g.Cf. Egan (2005) p.95, no.413.
