Description: | An incomplete, damaged copper-alloy medieval sword or dagger scabbard chape. The object is of sheet metal construction bent round into a trapezoidal form. On the reverse face the sheet does not join (gap W.: c. 3.2mm). Damaged has occurred at the terminal whose form is unclear, possibly rounded. Much of one of the lower halves has been lost and the remnants bent round on the reverse face. The attachment end too has been slightly bent and abraded. On the front surface the attachment end has a decorative wavy edge formed of cut triangular removals. Below are three small perforations arranged centrally in an inverted triangle. There are a further pair of holes at the junction of side and front/rear surface on both sides at the same level. The chape is plain with a variable green-blue patina over red-brown metal, the latter only visible in limited places. Some traces of tinning survive. The sheet construction would seem to suggest a c. 14th-century date for this chape. | Subjects: | chape | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
