Description: | A complete Late Medieval/Early Post-Medieval copper alloy dagger chape with backplate. It weighs 13.21g and measures 42.04mm in length and 32.96mm wide. The chape has a rounded bottom from which a knop extends, with scallop decoration in the form of radiating grooves from an openwork heart at the centre. Above this, at the top of the rounded base, is a horizontal rib with transverse ribbing below an openwork heart. Either side, the edges of the chape slope slightly outwards to a crenellated edge. It is 5.06mm thick. A similar example from Lincolnshire, can be seen in Read 2001 (Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, Volume One) p.90, fig.58, no.685. Late 15th/ 16th century in date.
