Description: | A copper-alloy post medieval circa 16th century scabbard chape with a cast open work front face with sides and a sheet back face. It is tongue-shaped and measures 44.13mm in length and 31.42mm in width. The open work front plate originally had three fleur de lis along its open edge, one is now missing due to an old break. Below this there are two rows of circular holes and then a transverse moulding. There is then a cross-shaped hole with thr upper arm being twice as long as the others. The back sheet is held in place by solder and also has a piece of copper-alloy wire through its upper end, presumably to aid in attchment to the scabbard. | 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: | 1500
