Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy scabbard chape, dating to the 15th/ 16th century (length: 36.9mm; width: 29.7mm; thickness: 5mm; weight: 7.03g). This chape is of the separate back-plate type, and only the decorated front still remains. The top edge is serrated with an openwork cross just below. There are transverse ridges radiatting out from underneath the cross. The basal knop at the bottom of the artefact is present, but corroded. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Read?s ?Metal Artefacts of Antiquity?, 2001, pages 84 & 90, ref no 685, found in South-East Lincolnshire. | 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: | 1400
