This rounded part is decorated with radiating lines (rather like a scallop design) from an openwork trefoil at the centre, which also extends into the top part of the chape.The top part of the chape has straight edges but an incurved 'horizontal' edge with little projections, inwards at either end.Late 15th/ early 16th century.
