Title
1216 Medieval knife end plate.JPG
Description
English: Knife handle fragment. Length 13mm, width 9mm, thickness >1mm. The artefacts is made from undecorated sheet copper alloy and is rectangular in plan with a rectangular hole (5mm by 1mm) in the centre, the hole is dished slightly where it has been punched through the plate. This sheet copper alloy plate would have been the back plate of a tanged knife handle. There would have been an organic handle, probably bone or wood mounted on a knife tang, that had a copper alloy plate on the front and back that formed the handle. Tanged knifes that have a copper alloy plate one either side of the handle are more common in the 12th-14th century, which is the probable date for this object.
