Description: | A Post Medieval, squashed copper alloy possible scabbard chape (1500-1600), although it is rather parallel-sided. It measures 42.68x15.97x6.34mm and weighs 10.8g.damaged at the open end and missing roughly a quarter of the edge. It measures 35.77x18.85x9.11mm and weighs 8.8g. The width of the scabbard chape indicates it would have served for a dagger rather than a sword. The chape has been made out of folded sheet with a soldered seam along the side and base. Egan notes (2005, 192) that chapes were fashionable during the 16th century but had diminished in appeal by around 1600. Reference: Egan, G. 2005. Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition.
