Description: | A cast copper alloy scabbard chape of medieval, circa 13th -14th century date.
The object is formed from a semi-circular folded sheet of cast copper alloy, which has been rolled to form a cone. The cone is flattened. The longitudinal edges overlap and were presumably originally soldered together. There are a series of lines inscribed around the open end of the object. There is also a circular perforation on the join, just below the lines. The egdes of the sheet are thinned and worn. The object is very worn with a mid greenish-brown patina.
This object is very similar to one recorded in Parham (Suffolk) PAS database number : SF-F35EE5. | 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: | 1200
