Description: | A silver chape, which is now, due to an old break, in two halves which fit together. This chape has been made from folded sheet silver, and is 41mm in length and 23mm in width at the open end and 13mm in width at the terminal end. The rim of the open end is decorated with two transverse grooves which have a transverse bar of diagonal incisions either side of them. The front face of the chape is also decorated with what appears to be an incised clenched hand holding an unravelled scroll? which has some writing on it. The back face is smooth and undecorated. This chape is likely to be Medieval or Post-medieval in date and will be examined in more detail under the Treasure Act. | Subjects: | Chape | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
