Description: | A corroded and damaged copper-alloy medieval dagger scabbard chape. The object is of sheet metal construction bent round into the form of a truncated cone. On the lower surface the folds join with a longitudinal seam. The attachment end is scalloped and decorated below with two transverse grooves. It is truncated at the other end by cutting and has suffered some slight abrasions at this tip. The chape has a reddish brown colour with patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. It has been somewhat squashed due to a number of old strikes. The sheet construction would seem to suggest a c. 14th-century date for this chape.
