Roman bone scabbard disc chape
Stained green disc chape. The slide is apparently on the front of the chape, as this is the decorated face. Decorated by a vertical groove down each side, on one side of the body and on the other side of the slide. These help to disguise the presence of the slide by making the joins appear part of a double groove pattern.
