Description: | Copper alloy scabbard chape of early Post-Medieval date. There is no backplate. The upper edge is moulded forming two semi-circular projections on the upper surface and an extended round, flat knop on the sides, separated by semi-circular recesses. The chape then tapers towards the lower section and there is a heart-shaped aperture in the centre of the upper surface so that the upper edge of the heart mirrors the contour of the upper edge of the chape. The lower section forms a trefoil. The upper surface of the trefoil bears moulded decoration in the form of a scroll on each side lobe with two grooves radiating from between the scrolls and extending to the outer edge of the third lobe. This lobe also has a small central knop at its apex between the grooves. There are file marks on the sides of the upper section. The reverse is undecorated. Dark green patina.
