Description: | The complete cast front face of an early post medieval copper-alloy scabbard chape. This chape is an unusual triangular shape measuring 63mm in length and 34mm in width at its open end. The edges of the open end has V-shaped notches cut into it. Below this there are two parallel transverse lines. There is then in the centre of the front face three pointed oval perforations which are arranged to form a triangular shape and have ragged edges, implying that they may have been made after casting or may be due even to later damage. There is a rounded knop projecting from the pointed terminal end. The back face of this cast front plate is hollow. | 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: | 1540
