Description: | An incomplete medieval asymmetrical openwork sword scabbard chape, sub-triangular, broken in two places, at the fold beyond which there would have been another similarly shaped element, and at the end of a elongated narrowed bar projecting from the upper edge, where there would have been a terminal lobe with a rivet hole. The face is decorated with engraved rocker-arm lines and fine multiple oblique notches on the projecting bar. It measures 46mm in length. It may be compared with similar forms in The Searcher, July 2006, p. 26, no. 11, and de Reuck 1991, p. 2, third from the top. It dates from the 11th-12th century.
