The manorial residence of Rubercy (Calvados) Scabbard head second half of the 12th century |
Scabbard head, in the shape of a flattened cone, made from a single sheet of cuprous alloy cut out and folded back on itself. The slight dimensions of the object lead one to conjecture that this was from a knife or dagger scabbard.
