Description: | Copper alloy medieval openwork dagger chape, missing its backplate. The chape is U-shaped with a roundel terminal at its bottom and an indented top edge. Either side of a central midrib is an openwork design. To the left side as you look at it the design is of a trefoil balanced on a rectangular opening 12mm long and 2mm wide. To the right of the midrib is a trefoil with a shorter stem and further down a tiny hole. Whether this is a casting fault and should have mirrored the left side is unclear as the right side is smooth over the potential miscast area whilst the left side displays a rough edge along the rectangular opening. The indented top edge curls back on itself either side of the midrib. 15th century.
