Title
A medieval - post medieval copper alloy knife handle terminal dating late 15th - 16th century.
Description
English: A medieval - post medieval copper alloy knife handle terminal dating late 15th - 16th century. The terminal is rectangular in shape with two rectangular projections, one from each side of the distal end. There is a large rectangular notch on the distal end between these two projections; possibly there was an inlay of a different material. The proximal end has the slot for the tang of the iron blade. Both sides of the terminal are decorated with a linear border extending along the edges. The decoration comprises a raised ridge with regular diagonal grooves creating a twisted rope effect.

Dimensions: length: 15.58mm; width: 19.16mm; thickness: 7.95mm; weight: 8.22g.
