Description: | A cast copper alloy scabbard chape of late medieval date, circa 15th -16th century. The object is formed from a folded sheet of cast copper alloy, which has been rolled to form a flattened cone. The longitudinal edges overlap and were presumably originally soldered together. Two punched holes and one punched slot can be seen on the upper part of the open end of the chape. The object is worn with a mid greyish-green patina. Similar chapes can be seen in Egan, p193.
