Description: | A worn and incomplete copper-alloy sword scabbard chape. The surviving element is the cast front-piece (with bent sides) of a former two-piece chape; the backplate would have been sheet. The chape is V shaped. It is relatively undecorated, featuring a transverse rib approximately half way along the object and a further transverse rib towards the attachment end. The attachment end is irregularly moulded, perhaps as a result of perforations which have been abraded through; the edges continue further than the body. Cast chapes such as this example can be dated to the later medieval or early post-medieval periods. | 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: | 1450
