Description: | Copper alloy object, possibly a fragment of a medieval lace chape. The object is bent longitudinally forming a seam down its length. The object is undecorated, tapers slightly (D. 2.83-2.01mm) and is broken off at the wider end. This may be part of the narrow (free) end of a lace chape. Such objects were attached to a piece of leather or other textile to prevent fraying and to allow easy threading through corresponding eyelets in a garment. Patchy, dull mid-green patina.
