Description: | A near complete silvered or tinned sheet copper alloy dagger chape of probable medieval date. The chape measures 37.5mm by 15.6mm by 8.9mm and weighs 3.6g. The chape has been formed by bending a triangular sheet of copper alloy into a cone shape. There are traces of the solder which held the chape together along the join. There are also traces of silvering or tinning on one side. Four holes have been punched into the upper edge of the chape for attachment to the scabbard. These are all broken. There are four small circular decorative indentations on the side opposite the join. These are arranged at points of a lozenge. | Subjects: | Chape | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
