Description: | A cast copper alloy scabbard chape dating from the later medieval period. The chape consists only of the back plate, which is not often found. The back plate is broadly triangular in plan with a large rounded knop at the basal terminus that curves to the right; there is an openwork quatrefoil in the centre of the plate, the detail of which is outlined with incised line decoration. The top of the chape plate is broken but appears to have consisted of another openwork panel, this time rectangular in plan with curved outer elements. The entirity of the chape is giled, on both faces, and probably dates to the 16th Century AD.
