Description: | An incomplete copper alloy probable medieval or post-medieval dagger chape or ferrule made from sheet metal. It is in the form of a flattened cone with an overlapping join on one face. The upper edge is hevaily damaged, but appears to have been wavy with engraved decoration of radiating lines just below. The object survives in fair condition with a green patina and some dents in places.The simple tube-like form of the object makes it difficult to determine its original function. c.f. A similar indeterminate object from excavations in Winchester from a 14th century context (Biddle 1990, 1093, no.4095).Length: 48.02mm, width: 12.34mm, thickness: 6.23mm, weight: 3.23g
