Description: | A complete copper-alloy sword/dagger chape. This chape is formed of a folded sheet of copper-alloy, the join can be clearly seen down the centre of the back face and has probably been soldered. This chape is roughly rectangular in shape, tapering towards its terminal which has been neatly folded under. It measures 39mm in length, 21mm in width at its open end, 9mm in width at its terminal end and is oval in cross-section, it is 9mm thick. The upper edges of the open end are concave. Two small rivet holes, one with the corroded remains of an iron rivet within it can be seen near to the sides of the top edge on the back face of this chape. The chape has an all over white metal coating (probably tin). Similar folded chapes have been found in Winchester and 15th or 16th century in date (Biddle 1990, 1083, fig 348). | 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: | 1400
