Description: | A cast copper-alloy front-piece from an incomplete two-piece dagger scabbard chape of post-medieval (16th-century) date. The object is broadly shield shaped with a cusped attachment end with a central sub-triangular protrsuion. Within the field, below the attachment end, are two circular perforations with, below each, a sub-rectangular hole; both of the latter are highly imperfectly cast. The rounded base terminates in a knop. The sheet backplate is now missing. Chapes of similar form can be found illustrated in de Reuck (1991, Tudor 1485-1600). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
