Jerash lamps were made in a the Gerasa Hippodrome Byzantine-era Workshop beginning under Byzantine rule after 500 A.D. They were more common in Transjordan the Umayyad Period and Abbasid Periods, and lasted until c. 900 A.D. Finds at Beit Shean indicate the type was also made there, but only until c. 700 A.D. The most unusual aspect of the type is a high vertical handle usually ends in three nodules that evoke an animal’s head and ears, leading to the handles being described as zoomorphic. Ina Kehrberg-Ostrasz noted, however, the nodules worked as carrying devices: one can hold the lamp horizontal by placing a thumb between the "ears" and wrapping two fingers around the "head."

Medieval Spain, Bronze Scabbard Chape, c. 15th - 16th Century
In the London Museum medieval catalogue, Ward-Perkins dates similar chapes to the late 15th or 16th century. He suggests that metal dagger chapes were only used on the sheaths of military daggers or the more elaborate forms of civilian dagger. The great majority of surviving leather sheaths belonged to ordinary knives or knife-daggers and these have no metal terminal.AS110892. bronze scabbard chape, 54.2mm long, 15th - 16th century; hollow shield shaped, curved sides converging at the base, a solid rounded knob terminal, curved upper edge with a raised lip on the front, rectangular opening on the back;
