Title
Bone knife handle, back
Description
English: Bone handle (possibly from a knife) probably dating to 17th century. The handle has a curved surface and rounded end with evidence for four main iron rivets with three smaller copper alloy tacks inbetween them to attach it to the blade. The back of the handle is flat and would have been attached onto the blade (or tang) with a matching bone handle on the other side. The handle weighs 7.71g and measures 66.5mm in length, 19.5mm in width and 6mm in thickness.
