Title |
Iron Age knife handle |
||
Description |
English: Cast copper alloy knife handle with small section of corroded knife blade; the tang of the knife is circular in section and terminates in an anthropomorphic head which faces sideways, in the same plane as the blade; the head is hairless, and facial features, executed in relief, include almond-shaped eyes, a squared-off nose and pointed chin; the guard or hilt is asymmetrical in regards to the point where it joins the tang; the guard has slightly angled outer edges and a straight inner edge; the outer surface is decorated with a continuous medial groove which is obscured in places by corrosion from the iron blade which survives as a short irregular stub. Testing with a magnet reveals that the tang of the iron blade is inserted into the cylindrical hilt. A parallel for the use of an iron blade in combination with a copper alloy hilt with a human head terminal is provided by an Iron age knife from Basel, Switzerland, of the 2nd or 1st centuries BC. |
