Description: | An incomplete cast tinned copper-alloy scabbard chape of uncertain date. The chape is broadly triangular in plan and cross section. Four incomplete rectangular attachments of varying length protrude from the main body of the chape (9.55mm max, 1.45mm min). The chape tapers from the top (17.45mm wide) to the tip which has a circular knopped tip. In plan the chape curves slightly outwards towards the tip. The front face of the chape has a grooved border running along its length is decorated with numerous shallow grooves consisting of an elongated heart shape running along the majority of the chapes length filled with a sub-triangular groove which splits two parallel wavy grooves. Two bifurcating groves are visible above the elongated heart shape.
