An incomplete copper-alloy knuckle guard of late medieval date, c.AD 1300 - 1400. The object comprises a curved rectangular plate with central projecting spike to the outer side. The spike is perforated, presumably due to wear. Two rivet holes are present; one to either end of the plate. The knuckle guard would have formed part of a gauntlet with the dome-shape allowing the piece to fit over an articulated knuckle. The rivet holes would have been used to fix the plate in place.
