Title
17c figure
Description
English: A cast copper alloy knife handle with iron tang and a gilded surface. 17th century.

A male musicial playing a bagpipe with a hunting horn tucked into the belt at the back. A money purse hanging from his belt at the front. A sword hangs from his belt to his left. Feathers adorn his cap.

Geoff Egan comments: The Piper is an early C17th knife handle - one of a series (or several series) with different characters, including bagpiper, hunter, androgynous (?)actor etc. I suspect they are Dutch, but cannot demonstrate this. Several come from the Thames, and a few from unpublished London excavations.
