Description: | An incomplete Medieval sheet copper-alloy scabbard chape, for a knife (c. 1300-c. 1500).This chape is 'V'-shaped in plan and sub-oval in cross-section. The sheet has been folded and joined at a vertical seam on one side which for the most part is difficult to see. The top is straight and just below the top is a pair of circumferential parallel decorative grooves. Within the chape are the remains of a leather scabbard.This chape is reddish brown with a patchy mid-green patina. The leather is hard and decayed but appears to be stable.Height: 25.0mm; width: 10.6mm; thickness: 5.0mm. Weight: 1.12g.This chape has been classified for a knife rather than a dagger as it is very small. The seam has parted at the top.
