Description: | An incomplete copper alloy late Medieval to early Post Medieval sword or military dagger chape. The chape is a convex ligulate-shape with an open top and a short central terminal end knop. It has openwork decoration with a circular hole just above its terminal end, above which there is a pattern of quatrefoils and circles interlinked by slots. The reverse side of the chape is formed from the U-shaped flat edge of the front face. The upper part of the chape has been damaged, probably post deposition. Similar chapes are shown in Ward Perkins; London Medieval Catalogue (1940) p285 which are assigned late a 15th-16th century date range. The chape is 38.95mm long, 27.08mm wide and is 5.32mm thick front to back.
