Description: | A worn copper-alloy sword scabbard chape. Sub-trapezoidal in shape and of sheet metal construction. The chape is ostensibly flat with a soldered seam on the reverse. The top is curved in towards the body of the chape and is decorated on the obverse. This decoration takes the form of an incised band which follows the curve featuring crudely incised diagonal lines. Central, below the incised band are four circular perforations arranged in a lozenge form, around which are five smaller circular perforations, four at each 'corner' and one central. On the reverse there are two circular perforations, one over the area of the seam and the other between the seam and the edge. There is also an area of white correction fluid in the bottom left hand corner marked '46', presumably by the finder. Such bent sheet sword chapes can be attributed a later medieval date. | 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 |
