Medieval sword scabbards were made of two thin pieces of wood made to contain the sword blade; these were covered with leather sewn along the length of the scabbard. A metal chape (end cap) could be made of bronze or other copper alloy, perhaps tinned or silvered in some cases.
The suspensions straps could be very complex, as in Anglo-Norman England in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Some leather-covered scabbards were decorated with embossed designs.
