Description: | A copper-alloy scabbard chape or ferrule, 23mm in length with an oval cross-section, 10mm by 7mm. The chape has been made from a plain folded sheet of copper-alloy which tapers to a point and the closed end has been cut and folded. The copper-alloy is quite silver in colour indicating that this chape has a high tin content. A similar shape was found at Winchester, although it is larger in size (Biddle 1990, 1093, Fig 352, No 4095). Both of these chapes are likely to be Medieval in date. | 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: | 1066
