Description: | Medieval copper alloy dagger chape missing part of its backplate. It is 49mm long and max 30mm wide. The chape is U-shaped and very similar to LMMC plate LXXX no.2. It has a central rib which is decorated with incised horizontal lines. Below is a rounded knop with a flat back and above a worn flat terminal. To either side the chaoe is openwork, with a 14x3mm rectangular opening flanked at either short end with a 4mm diameter circular hole. Some ?casting imperfectinos (or breaks) mean some holes have an irregular edge. One hole in particular seems to have been pushed thorugh from the reverse and is square in shape. On the reverse the backplate is thin and has a c.2mm diameter piece of wire passing through it near the top (open) end | 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: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
