Description: | A cast, copper alloy scabbard fitting; a chape, dating from the Medieval period. The chape is sub rectangular, tapering towards the bottom. The upper edge of the chape is decorated with two cut-out areas, each being two-thirds of a circle, between which is a v-shaped notch. Below this is a narrow, transverse, raised line; the chape is otherwise undecorated. It has a brassy colour and a dark brown patina in some places. It is 48.5mm long, 25.6mm wide and 7.1mm thick. It weighs 12.01gm. Chapes of similar form can be found illustrated in de Reuck (1991, dating from the sixteenth century).Many examples can be found on the PAS database such as HAMP-2317E5.
