Description: | The function and date of the object is not certain, it may be a type of chape. It is made from cast copper alloy. In plan the object is asymmetrical. There is one obvious original edge which is ???? in profile, which is similar to Medieval dagger or sword chape. This edge is slightly convex. The upper edge is off-set and is wavy. This maybe due to openwork, which is common on a chape as decoration. The lower edge is more abraded and maybe due to damage. The front face is also decorated with low-relief parallel linear grooves, whose overall design is unclear. The reverse is undecorated. The object measures 10.73mm long and 18.62mm wide. It weighs 0.91g.
The object may be a Medieval chape, but this is not certain. | Subjects: | Chape | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
