Description

This Viking bronze sword chape is a finely detailed reproduction, inspired by an archaeological find from Hedeby, one of the most important Viking trading settlements of the 10th–11th century. The original, now preserved in the Haithabu Viking Museum in Schleswig, Germany, was crafted to cap and protect the lower end of a sword scabbard, preventing wear while showcasing the owner’s status and artistry.

Handmade from solid bronze using the traditional lost-wax casting method, this piece displays the intricate knotwork and beast-head motifs that defined Viking metalwork. Finished with an antique patina, it carries an authentic, timeworn character—ideal for collectors, and enthusiasts seeking museum-quality accuracy.

Built for strength and authenticity, this chape is perfect for historical sword fittings, display pieces, or museum-grade replica scabbards, offering both durability and historical fidelity.
