An incomplete copper alloy artefact, possibly part of the mouth of a sword or dagger scabbard of unknown date, AD 43 - 1800.

A possible incomplete copper-alloy scabbard chape. This chape is V-shaped, two bars of flat copper-alloy forming the arms of the V, it measures 35mm in length. The base and the top of the V-shape are missing due to old breaks. One arm of the V has survived for a greater length than the other and at its tip it curves round, however this curve is also missing, so it is difficult to say what it would have been for. The date of this possible chape is unknown.
