Description: | Fragment of copper alloy medieval dagger chape. This fragment represents one side of the upper rim portion of the chape. It is now subrectangular in plan and flat in section, with the edges slightly curved inwards. The top edge is scalloped with four segments remaining. The field of each scallop is decorated with vertical incised lines. Beneath the scallops is a double incised line border. There is a gap of 8.52mm and then there is another double lined border just above the lower break edge. The rest of the fragment is plain, as is the reverse. The original surface survives with an even dark green patina. Break edges are worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is 19.52mm long, 28.24mm wide, 0.96mm thick and weighs 1.73g. It dates to the 13th or 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
