Description: | Silver sword chape made from thin silver sheet folded over along its length to form a sheath. Covered with incised scale decoration and regular punchmarks, roughly incised circlets and chevrons at tip. The rough decoration on both sides seems to be a characteristic of early modern chapes and echoes that on leather scabbards.Probably 16th-17th Century.
