Description: | A copper-alloy chape of probable Post-Medieval date. It is formed from a sheet of copper-alloy rolled to create a hollow chape with flattened base and vertical seam visible along one side. At the attachment end the chape has four semi-circular projections each with a central circular sewing hole. In the interior of the attachment end can be seen the remains of a fabric string or chord to which the chape was originally attached, its precise form uncertain due to its preservation within the chape itself. All surfaces of the chape are extremely worn with no evidence for decorative elements surviving. It measures 46.13mm in length, 10.89mm in width, 8.01mm in thickness and 3.33g in weight. This chape is of probable Post-Medieval date, c.16th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
