| Title |
Medieval Copper-alloy 'V' Shaped, Straight Ended Strap-end |
||
| Description |
English: A copper-alloy 'V' shaped, straight ended scabbard chape of edieval date. The sub-trapezoidal body of the chape has a height of 16.37mm, base width of 17.00mm and upper width of 22.00mm. The artefact has a thickness over the body of 7.75mm formed from the sheet copper-alloy being folded in half at the centre, the fold line forming the base of the body. A gap of 3.74mm is present between two halves to accomedate the strap. A decorative circular aperture is present at the centre on each side of the body positioned close to the top edge. A slight break at the centre of the top edge is part of the decorative design. A slightly raised border of 2.15mm width edges the apperture. Both of the outer surfaces of the body are decorated. One surface has slight grooves that form a radiating design fanning out from around the apperture. The design decorating the other surface is unclear but seems to show a concentric loop or horseshoe shape wrapping around the aperture's border. This feature has a width of 2.06mm. The body of the strap-end has a border along each edge. This border has a width of 2.40mm at the base, increasing to 3.90mm at the top of the body, before forming four arms, two on each side, that continue for a further length of 26.33mm and flaring to a maximum width of 6.65mm. These arms have a 'D'-shaped cross-section, the flat surface on the inner side. The top of each arm is rounded and a single rivet hole of 2.18mm diameter set in the terminal. The arm terminals have purposefully been flattened to a rectangular cross-section. One pair of the two arms remains held together with a surviving rivet. The rivet for the other pair of arms is missing and both of these arms have been slightly bent. One arm has been pulled over to the side and the other bent forwards away from the centre of the artefact. The rivet is formed from a strip of rectangular cross-sectioned copper-alloy.
Weight is 12.4g, total height is 40.86mm. The maximum width, between the outer edge of the arm terminals, measures 41.20mm. See PAS records ESS-DB2118 & LEIC-39F3A4. Also see Egan, G. & Pritchard, F. 2002, p.126-127, fig.83, no.575. Egan & Pritchard's example dates to their ceramic phase 9 = c.1270-c.1350. |
