Description: | Small complete dagger chape of probable Medieval date, made of sheet copper alloy. Length 28mm, width 18mm and 9mm thick. The sheet is about 0.5mm thick. Weight 4.40g. Viewed from below the end is oval in shape, 11mm x 9mm. The sheet has probably been moulded around a former to produce the truncated cone shape. The edges are free and do not appear to have been soldered. All around the upper (and widest) end of the chape is a band of stamp marks as decoration. These marks are short vertical lines about 3mm in length set at about 1.5mm apart. The band of decoration is enclosed by an upper and lower incised line. The chape is slightly flattened on the reverse side where the top is damaged and bent. It has a mid-green coloured patina overall and appears to be in a stable condition. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
