Description: | Copper-alloy chape. The chape is made from sheet metal, rolled with an overlapping soldered joint. A knop has also been soldered to the bottom, presumably to close the bottom edges of the artefact. The chape is sub-triangular in shape with a rounded tip. The opening of the chape is sub-circular in shape. The artefact is similar (although a little larger) to a series of chapes illustrated in Ottaway and Rogers (2002, 2904; figs 12891-14393) which are cited as being dagger sheath chapes, rather than for swords. This example measures 78.7 mm in length, with a diameter of 15 mm at the opening and 8.3 at the terminal knop. The examples in Ottoway and Rogers are dated from the mid 14th century to the 15th century, and it is likely that this example can also be attributed to this period. | 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: | 1350
