Title
Cast copper alloy pommel from a scale knife of Post Medieval, sixteenth century date (AD 1500 – AD 1600).
Description
English: Cast copper alloy end cap (pommel) from a scale knife of Post Medieval, sixteenth century date (AD 1500 – AD 1600). Length 16mm, width 16mm. Weight 12.59g.

The small zoomorphic style end cap is in the form of a beast's head, possibly that of a dog. The forward facing head has a closed mouth, well set back indistinct ears and small indentations for the eyes. The neck is particularly large and is oval in cross-section. At the centre of the neck, on the underside, is a rectangular slot filled with iron which is the remains of the missing tang. The slot is 13mm in length and 3.5mm in width and is recessed 5mm within the neck part. The piece is corroded and a patchy light green patina survives.
