Description: | Copper-alloy medieval sword chape. Formed of a sheet folded back upon itself with four arms extending outwards. These arms have rivets holes and one has an intact rivet. Only two survive, the others (one at the front and one at the back) are broken off at their base. Between the arms is a tri-lobed fleur on both sides. The upper surface is decorated with linear pattern imitating the fleur and several straight lines with two wavy between on the rectangular plate. On the reverse is a simpler linear pattern with six lines overlapping at a point at the base of the fleur. Very similar to NMS-5FCDA1 and NMS-4971E3, which have been dated to the twelfth century. 41.85 x 18.89 x 6.15 mm, 7.20g.
