Description: | Late medieval to post medieval copper alloy sword chape. 38mm in length, 31mm wide and 5mm thick, with a weight of 8.6grams. The chape is sub rectangular in form and cross section. It has an upper rectangular section with a crenallated top, below which is a central quatrefoil shaped opening. Its lower half is a stylised scallop shell with radiating incised lines and the object terminates with a small spherical knop. The whole object is slightly domed and hollow and would have formed one half of a chape that surrounded the base of a sword scabbard. Similar to LEIC-B45334, GLO-B1FD64, LANCUM-A69627 and CAM-D38556 on the database
