Roman copper alloy binding
Part of the bronze binding from the lower end of a sword scabbard. The object comprises one arm of the binding and the knob chape at the bottom. The top of the arm is embellished with a stylized palmette. The arm is facetted and there are two sets of bronze rivets along its length to secure the ornamental bronze fittings which extended from one arm of the chape to the other to cover the wood and leather of the body of the scabbard.
