Description: | Sheet copper alloy dagger scabbard chape. This example is made from a plain copper alloy sheet, about 1mm thick, that has been folded into a conical shape; the edges have been overlapped and soldered together. The top opening is oval with an undecorated rim. The rest of the chape is undecorated except for six hold on the front near the rim, these holes are small and triangular and are most likely achieved using the point of a knife. The bottom edge has been folded to create a rounded base. Examples are known from archaeological contexts in London and have been dated to the 14th-16th centuries (Ward, 1967, 280-288).Ward Perkins, 1967, London Museum. Medieval Catalogue, HMSO
