This fragment from a knife sheath is decorated with a dragon-like mythical beast, a popular and long-lived decoration motif. This example is perhaps from the 14th century.

It lacks the mouth and handle section with only the tapering blade section surviving. The central edge butted back seam is sewn using a serpentine stitch with stitches 5mm in length.

The front is decorated with a central vertical panel defined by a double border of impressed tooled lines with a raised horizontal band dividing it into two. The lower section contains a backward facing mythical beast with fur or scales. These have been depicted using impressed dots. The central panel is flanked by raised vertical mouldings ornamented with oblique lines, with a narrow linear panel with an impressed zig-zag pattern along the straight edge.
