Description: | Copper alloy object, probably a scabbard chape. The lower section of the chape is in the form of a broadly trapezoidal plate. The plate expands slightly towards the fold. From both upper corners at the open end of the plate narrow D-sectioned arms extends parallel to one another. At the end of each arm the arm expands slightly around a rivet hole. One arm is broken off at the rivet hole, the other extends to a pointed terminal. A small, thin sheet of copper alloy is held in place between the two sides of the plate at the folded end. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with incised decoration with a plain raised border along the upper and lower edges. On one side there is a lateral incised wavy line along the centre of the plate. On the other side are a series of transverse lines arranged in opposing parallel groups, forming triangle and lozenge shapes. The arms are undecorated. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Patchy mid-dark green patina.
