Description: | A cast copper alloy scabbard chape of late medieval date, circa 15th -16th century. The object is formed from a folded sheet of cast copper alloy, which has been rolled to form a flattened cone. The longitudinal edges overlap and were presumably originally soldered together. Four punched marks are visible near the open end, in a rough diamond shape. The open end has been decoratively cut. The object is worn with a mid greyish-green patina. Similar chapes can be seen in Egan, p193. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
