Description: | A copper alloy dagger or sword scabbard chape of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date. The chape is sub-triangular in shape, terminating in a globular knop at the base. The mouth of the object, which has been damaged, is oval. The object has been formed from a single piece of metal which has been folded and cut and the acorn shaped knop has been slotted into the aperture at the bottom and soldered into place. The knop is currently loose and damage at the top of the knop reveals a thread or circumferential ridges on the chape below. The object is decorated with a single circumferential groove just below the mouth and two bands of 5 circumferential grooves around the body of the object. The object is split along one side with the split measuring 34.72mm in length from the mouth before it terminates. Along this split, 21.97mm below the mouth is a circular perforation or rivet hole with an internal diameter of 4.36mm. The object has a brown to light green patina.
