  • Incomplete leather sword scabbard heavily decorated with stamped and impressed decoration on the front. The decoration takes the form of panels filled with repeating four pellet stamped motif. The panels are divided down the middle by two impressed lines and an impressed fleur-de-lys motif. The back is plain apart from two vertical impressed lines. There is a centre back seam with flesh/grain stitch holes. There is quite a lot of damage to the scabbard mouth and most of the lower part of the scabbard is missing.
