Description: | Copper alloy dagger hilt guard. Cast openwork hilt guard with two short and lightly facetted knops or quillons and a pelta- or W-shaped guard which projects from one side of a rhomboid plate with a socket of 9.5mm by 6.4mm permitting passage of a tang. The W-shaped projection might show this to come from a left hand dagger and could be used to trap the blade of an opponent's weapon. This object appears to be from a diminutive version of a fighting knife, perhaps worn for display or by a child. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1550-1650.Length: 43.8mm, Width: 28mm, Thickness (at knops): 8.5mm, Weight: 16.14gms
