Description: | Lead alloy object, possibly a copy of a scabbard mount or chape, dating from the very late post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c.1700-1900. The object is shaped like a scabbard shape, that is ellyptical at one end and straight at the other, with decoration on both sides. However, it is a flat object with no perforation or any means to attach a scabbard to it - and also, a lead-alloy would not be a very useful material to make a scabbard chape out of. Those are more commonly made from cu-alloy. The object is decorated with a tight pattern of lines and dots on both sides. Closer to the tip it displays an overlaying floral pattern, probably a fleur-de-lys. The floral pattern is symmetrical, i.e. not exactly the same, on both sides. The artefact does not look broken or damaged, only quite worn. It could be a toy of some description. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
