It is sub-triangular in shape with a rounded tip and a single round knob on the bottom. Approximately half of the chape is missing and the brake edges suggest old brakes. Surface is abraded and pitted. It measures 25.44mm in length, 23.36mm in width and weighs 3.9g. Similar chapes can be found in Crummy, N. 1988.
