Title
An incomplete medieval to post-medieval cast copper alloy knife terminal
Description
English: An incomplete medieval to post-medieval cast copper alloy knife terminal. The terminal is in the shape of two stylized horse hooves joined together at the leg and curve away from each other. The hooves are oval in cross section with a groove going around each hoof. The cap itself is also oval in cross section and retains a small amount of the iron tang. It is in fair condition, with some corrosion products as well as iron corrosion products near the remnants of the tang. The edges all around are very worn. This terminal is believed to date from the 13Th to 17Th centuries. Similar examples may be found on the database WAW-A91822, IOW-2A94C1, GLO-41D9F4, LEIC-B42637.

The knife terminal is 13.49 mm long, 16.87 mm wide, 8.37 mm thick and weighs 5.85 g.
