Description: | An incomplete and misshapen Medieval sheet copper-alloy scabbard chape (c. 1300-c. 1500). It is possible, due to its size, that it belonged to a sword rather than a dagger. The sheet is folded and has an over-lap at the rear where there is no evidence that it was soldered. From the ragged and uneven top, the sides taper to the straight edged bottom. At the top the width is 39.7mm and the width at the bottom is 24.9mm. The sheet is about 0.3mm thick. The front face appears to be undecorated. This chape is in poor condition and is mainly covered with superficial copper-alloy corrosion deposits. 78.2 x 39.7 x 10.1mm. Weight: 24.46g.
