Статтю присвячено публікації бронзової бутеролі з фондів Харківського історичного музею
 імені М. Ф. Сумцова, пошуку ймовірних джерел її
 походження та аналізу можливого зв’язку з безпаспортним біметалевим мечем з довоєнної колекції музею. In M. F. Sumtsov Kharkiv Historical Museum archaeological
 collection a bronze scabbard-chape can be
 found, which has a form of a rhomb-shaped plug that
 ends with a head of a carnivorous bird. The bird’s head
 is conveyed by three expressive elements — an eye in
 the eyesocket, a beak, and a tonguelet. Chapes of such
 type count a bit more than twenty exemplars, which
 are located preferably on the Caucasus and Northern
 Black Sea coastal area territories. Chape was included
 in the so-called «Kharkiv treasure». This treasure was
 supposedly found by two teenagers in their yard in
 1957; they gave it to the museum. The treasure is very
 variegated by its content and counts 236 objects of different
 epochs — from the Neolithic Age to the Middle
 Ages and modern ages. By the range of symptoms the
 treasure can be linked to the Archaeological exhibition
 opened in occupied Kharkiv in 1942 and which was
 demolished by the fire in February 1943. The exhibition
 was based on the materials of the Historical Museum
 collections and the Archaeological Museum of the
 Kharkiv University; it demonstrated as wide chronological
 period as the content of the «Kharkiv treasure»
 was — from the Stone Age to the Cossacks times. So,
 apparently before the war, the chape belonged to the
 collection of one of these museums. The loss of the accounting
 records of both museums prevents from determining
 the more precise origin of the chape.
 In the Archaeological exhibition remnants after the
 fire a bimetallic sword with an iron blade and bronze
 handle was also found. The sword and the chape belong
 to the same cultural and chronological context
 and are tied with each other functionally. At the same
 time, they are quite rare findings. It allows admitting
 a possible connection between them and their belonging
 to the same complex. Visually the Kharkiv chape
 is the closest to the findings from the Northern Black
 Sea coastal area, which allows defining the possible
 territory of origin of this complex, which is just hypothetic for now.
