Post-Medieval — 1485-1714
Knife
Bone knife formed from a longitudinal slice through bovine, horse or red deer long bone. The bone has been cut down and shaped to form a blade which flares towards a rounded end. A sharp carination marks the junction of blade and 'handle' which has been cut into a rather crude representation of a key. The key stem has been partially hollowed out. The bit has no ward cuts. The piece is well polished.
