Description: | Two fittings, both probably from the same sword scabbard as they were found close together.
Fitting one comprises the chape (58 x 22mm, 10.69g). This is gilded and the upper profile is serrated. There are two engraved lines just below the serrated edge
Fitting 2 (49 x 19mm, 9.94g) is double-sided and enclosed the mouth of the scabbard (or ran around its body). This is also gilded and has pairs of raised lines along the upper and lower edges on each side; both profiles are decorated. On one short side is a separately attached rounded fitting to which is attached a loop of 19mm diameter. This would have attached the scabbard to the sword belt. | 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: | 1550
