Description: | A fragment of a possible scabbard chape only half of the lower rectangular part of this chape survives, it would have been cast in one piece and then folded in two, it would have had two parallel pairs of rectangular-shaped arms projecting from its upper corners, none of these survive. The base of the chape is rectangular and tapering towards its base, one face and the bend, where it was folded in half survives. It measures 14.95mm in length by 20.20mm in width. The surviving face has vertical border grooves and a central incised cross motif.Other examples of similar more complete scabbard chapes have been found in Suffolk, and at Winchester in a 13th century context. (Biddle 1990, 1082-1083, fig.348, no.4031) Suffolk examples include a chape from Gedding (SF-D6F130) and one from Freckenham (SF9873).
