Description: | Cast copper alloy mis-cast of a scabbard chape, Post-Medieval in date.
It is uneven at both ends and is sub-triangular in plan, being 15mm wide at the narrower base and 33.5mm at the top. The uneven edges are due to bubbles in the metal. The chape is almost completely solid with an uneven interior again due to bubbles within the metal. It should have been hollow if successfully made with a smooth outer and inner surface.
This is an interesting find as it may indicate manufacture on or close to the area. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
