This fragment from a clasp-knife handle has been adapted from the tip of an antler tine.

The outer curve of the handle is decorated with two parallel rows of five ring and dot motifs. At the point where the tine has broken, the handle is decorated with three ridges defined by encircling grooves. The central ridge is further embellished with diagonal incised lines.

The edges of two transverse perforations are worn smooth from use. These may have been used to suspend the object, perhaps from a belt.

Along the inner curve, a slot has been cut to accommodate the folding blade, which would have fitted securely into this recess when the knife was closed.
