Description: | A Medieval copper alloy dagger chape (15th century). This chape was originally a two-piece but the back plate is now missing. The front has parallel sides with the end expanding to form a bulbous shape with cast decoration of radiating grooves, probably designed to depict a shell. The chape then terminates with a small rounded projection. The top is decorated and shaped to form three rounded lobes. The body has openwork decoration comprising a heart above a trefoil. Dark green patina with patches of red base metal showing through.
