Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy chape. The base or plate of the chape survives but the vertical arms are missing. The plate is rectangular in shape and tapers slighly towards its terminal it measures 21mm in width and 15mm in height. This chape has been cast and then folded in two. A central perforation, in the top edge of the plate, has been cast on both sides. One face of the plate has been decorated after casting with straight lines radiating downwards from the central perforation. No decoration can be seen on the other face. An identical chape has been discovered at Winchester and has been dated to the 13th century (Biddle 1990, 1082-1083, Fig 348, no 4031).
