Description: | Sheet copper alloy dagger scabbard chape length 42mm, width 24mm, thickness 4mm, weight 11.28g. This is example is made from a plain sheet copper alloy, about 1mm thick, which has been folded into a triangular shape, however, the lower quarter has been truncated. The mouth of the chape is heavily corroded but it appears there may have been two semicircular notches on the forward edge. On the reverse the seam is off-centre and although it has now opened up, it is possible to tell that originally the edges would have butted together. The overall condition of this object is poor with corrosion eating away at the extremities of the piece. Examples are known from archaeological contexts in London and have been dated to the 14th-16th centuries (Ward, 1967, 280-288). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
