Description: | A copper alloy dagger chape. The chape has been manufactured from folded sheet metal and has an overlapping seam and 'U' shaped opening in the upper edge, the function of which probably relates to the attachment of the chape to the scabbard holder. The end has been notched and folded inwards to create a point. Chapes of this type were used for long, narrow daggers and are generally dated to the late Medieval period, around AD 1300-1500.The object is in good condition, and has a dark brown to green patina. Similar examples may be seen on this database, for example LON-07F8A2.
