Description: | A copper alloy shield-shaped dagger chape. It is made up of two roughly rectangular faces which taper to a point at the base. The obverse is decorated with a raised monogram, formed from two overlapping V-shapes (one inverted) above 6 small raised dots. The reverse is undecorated. The chape would have originally been attached to the bottom of a (probably leather) scabbard.A precise parallel could not be found, but the chape is likely to date between the high medieval and early post-medieval period.
