Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy sword chape, 36mm long, 26mm wide and 6mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 7.91grams. The object consists of a circular base whose surface has raised radiating lines, suggestive of a shell. In the centre is a trefoil cut out and the base has a small rectangular knop. The upper half is rectangular and begins with a solid raised horizontal collar. Above this is a 'heart' shaped cut out which sits below a single incised horizontal line. The upper edge has several sub rectangular protrusions. The whole object is slightly domed and hollow and would have formed one half of a chape that surrounded the base of a sword scabbard.
