Description: | A complete copper-alloy folded sheet scabbard chape. Roughly rectangular in plan and tapering towards its terminal this chape measures 32.7mm in length and 18mm in width at it open end and 9.3mm in width at its terminal end, it is 7.8mm thick. It has been formed by folding a single piece of copper-alloy sheet and by soldering the two ends of the sheet together. It appears to have originally have had four roughly parallel rivet holes, two near to the corners of the top edge of the open end on either face, only two of these rivet holes are now complete the other two are incomplete/missing due to old damage. Slight traces of what may have been a white metal coating can be seen on the back face of this chape. This chape is medieval and probably 13th or 14th century in date.
