Description: | Late thirteenth/early fourteenth century copper alloy and cloth chape. Straight sides with large rounded open work end. On the inner side of this open work round loop appear to be a catch, on the scabbard end. The scabbard end has rounded edges (one fractured on one side) with trefoil shape moulded into the chape. A gully runs along the length of the chape, with two quatrefoil open-work motifs at equal distance to each other in the gully. Each field, to the sides of the gully is filled with pseudo acanthus interlace with trefoil pointed leaves. The chape is unusually filled with white textile material. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1275
