Description: | A copper-alloy scabbard chape. This chape has been wrapped around and its two terminals would have been soldered together originally. It measures 51mm in length and has an oval cross-ection, measuring 28mm in width and 10mm in thickness at the open end and 16mm in width and 6mm in thickness at the terminal end. The upper edge of the front face of the open end of this chape has three V-shaped notches cut into it and either side of these there is a circular perforation. The front face also has an incised V-shape, running from the open end to its centre. On the back face the two edges of the chape are no longer soldered together but traces of solder can be seen. There is also a circular hole in the centre of one side of the back face measuring c5mm in diameter, the function of this hole is unknown.
This chape is medieval and most likely to be c13th-14th century 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: | 1200
