Description: | A copper-alloy sword chape, 33mm in length and 22mm in width at its widest point. This chape is cast and its back plate is missing. The front plate has a rectagular shaped open end, which flares into a pointed triangular shape with rounded corners. The rectangular part is decorated with square holes and projections alternately along its top edge and there is transverse moulding below this. The triangular shaped terminal has two parallel rivet holes in its centre and grooves radiate outwards from inbetween these rivet holes. The back face of this chape is hollow and the remains of a leather and wooden lining still survive. This chape is early post-medieval in date (Geake 2001, 59 and ill.31). | 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: | 1600
