A copper-alloy scabbard with roughly executed open work plate from grave 108 in Zemplin, was preserved in two pieces. It has a semicircular chape and on the back plate probably was a long rib, going along the whole length, which function was to strengthen. Scabbards of similar construction are known from Bulgaria (Meričleri, Sofia Podueni, maybe Belozem) and the Przeworsk culture (Witaszewice, grave 147/1937). Similar form, but without such long rib represent finds from. Some badly preserved pieces of scabbards from Zaguminki, Lučka and Tuczno could be recognised as possibly specimens of similar type. They are dated to the very beginning of the early Roman period, are known from Eastern Europe.
