This Viking bronze sword chape is a finely crafted reproduction inspired by an original archaeological find from Hedeby, one of the most significant Viking trading towns of the 10th–11th century. The original piece, now preserved in the Haithabu Viking Museum in Schleswig, Germany, was designed to cap and protect the lower end of a sword scabbard, preventing wear while adding a touch of status and artistry.

Cast from high-quality bronze using the lost-wax method, this piece shows the knot-work and beast-head designs of Viking metalwork. The antique finish of the Sword Chape gives it a timeworn authenticity, making it perfect for historical enthusiasts, collectors and those wanting to equip Viking swords with accurate fittings.

Its well constructed build ensures long-lasting durability and its historical design makes it suitable for history displays or as part of a museum-grade replica sword scabbard.
