Description: | A sheet copper-alloy chape possibly for a dagger of Medieval date dating from 1300-1500AD. A sub-rectangular piece of sheet metal has been folded around to make an open-ended truncated cone. There is an obvious seam/overlap on one of the larger faces, and creases at the tip where the metal has been folded; the other larger face is flattened somewhat. The attachment end is asymmetrical, with incurved removals going lower on one side compared to the other. The chape is plain with a variable mid-green patina. A comparable chape can be found illustrated in Ottaway and Rogers (2002, 2904; ref. 14395). The length is 40mm, width 18mm, thickness 10mm and the weight is 9.23g.
