Description: | A lead alloy possible scabbard chape or chape from a knife sheath. The object is trapezoidal and hollow (though now flattened). The closed end is narrower, the sides slope outwards and the top is concave. The top edge is possibly broken and the edges have been folded over, sealing the opening. The sides are triangular so the top is thicker than the base. The lead has a creamy white-brown patina and no markings or signs of decoration are visible. Compare LIN-7BFB86. Alternatively, the object could be part of a small vessel, or be related to the unidentified objects referred to as "lids" which are frequently found in this area. Compare SWYOR-FFD132, SWYOR-FF74D5, SWYOR-FF63D6, SWYOR-7CAAF2 and others.Length: 48.1mm; Width: 42.6mm; Thickness: 12mm; Weight: 39.8g
