Description: | an early Post-Medieval cast copper alloy scabbard chape. It consists of a complete front plate, with part of the sheet backplate, and a separate 'V' shaped sheet metal flat pocket between the two. It is 42.89mm in length and is 30.85mm wide. It weighs 16.25g. The upper part is rectangular, and the lower part semi-circular, with a knop at the centre base. The upper edge has triangular projections to each side and two in the centre. Beneath the latter are two circular piercings, and beneath these are two horizontal bands running across the full width of the chape. Three more circular piercings lie within this zone. The lower part has four incised lines of decoration running from the outside edges towards the centre, where there is a trefoil cut-out. Thischape most closely resembles Ward-Perkins Type III chape, and most likely dates to the sixteenth century.
