Description: | A cast copper-alloy dagger scabbard chape dating to the late medieval or early post-medieval period. The surviving element is the thickly cast front-piece; the thinner backplate has been lost. The object is broadly U-shaped; at the lower edge it terminates in a knop. At the attachment end there is a semicircular moulding within the incurve of the 'U'. Below the moulding is a large, central heart-shaped perforation. The casting flash within the hole has not been completely filed away. A dagger chape of this form can be found illustrated in de Reuck (unpublished) and there dated to the 'Tudor period' (1485-1600 AD). The metal on this example is a red-brown colour with overlying mid-dark green patina. | 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 |
