Description: | An incomplete scabbard chape of probable late medieval to early post medieval date (M.Biddle, 1990, p. 1082-3).
The object is made from a piece of sheet copper-alloy folded into a cone shape. The point at the bottom has been lost to post-depositional damage and the object as a whole is squashed and corroded. The top edge has been cut so that one half is wavy and the other half is flat. There is a small circular rivet hole close to this top edge.
The piece measures 36.8mm high by 21.2mm wide and 5mm thick. It weighs 6.02g. | 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
