Description: | A corroded and damaged copper-alloy medieval sword or dagger scabbard chape. The object is of sheet metal construction bent round into a trapezoidal form. On the reverse face the folds overlap slightly. Damaged has occurred at the terminal whose form is unclear, probably rounded. The attachment end too has been slightly bent and abraded; the folds have also been squashed together at this end. The abrasions make any possible decorative cusping difficult to pick out with certainty. The chape is plain with a variable mid-green patina with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The sheet construction would seem to suggest a c. 14th-century date for this chape.
