The sides and base are curved backwards creating a concave reverse, onto which a copper alloy sheet plate has been soldered in order to create the box of the chape. The front of the chape is decorated with an open work design divided into three sections, the top section has of two trefoils with a small mullet in-between. Below in the midsection are three vertical rectangles of varying lengths, the middle example is slightly longer than those flanking it. Finally, in the lower section is a poorly cast trefoil.
