Description: | Large Medieval possible lace chape with a butted seam, neatly pointed closed end, from which two small pieces have been excised before folding inwards, and the solder scars at both ends, indicating the former presence of binding rings. A rather more sophisticated object than examples from London (Dress Accessories, 280 fig. 188). cf. an example from Winchester, identified as a ferrule, with a binding ring near the closed end (Biddle 1990, 1093 no. 4096). Length 78mm. Maximum diameter 8mm. 13th - 14th century.
