A complete, copper-alloy, medieval lace chape dating from c. AD 1270-1350. The chape consists of a sheet of copper-alloy wrapped into a conical shape with a visible join. The wide end is a rounded rectangular shape and open. Just below the wide end are two parallel incised decorative grooves. The narrow end is sub-circular in shape and open. The lace chape has been slightly dented and bent around the centre of the object. The lace chape is a dark green colour.

A complete copper-alloy Medieval to Post Medieval lace tag dating to circa AD 1400-1700. It consists of sheet metal rolled into a cone-shape with a straight seam running down one side. A narrow strip of copper alloy has been wrapped in a ring around the centre of the object. Traces of a white metal coating can be seen in places on the surface.
No precise parallel for the object has been found, although treasure case 2017 T1031 has been identified as a lace tag/chape and also features the ring wrapped around the centre. The condition and construction may suggest a post-medieval da…

An incomplete copper-alloy Medieval probably lace tag, dating to AD 1250-1450. It consists of a single sheet of copper alloy rolled into a tube which tapers towards the broken end. On the wide end there is an edge to edge seam while towards the narrow end the edges of the sheet overlap slightly; it may be due to denting post deposition. The surfaces are worn.

A complete copper alloy medieval to post-medieval lace tag (or 'aiglet'). It is formed from rolling a piece of sheet metal into a long, thin cone. The original sheet was a long rectangle with a small projection in one corner, which was curved across the open narrower base to enclose it. A small amount of dark, possibly organic material may still be seen within; maybe the remains of a leather lace. It survives in good condition with a little damage around the upper edge. Length: 40.43mm, Thickness: 5.94mm. Weight: 2.73g.
These objects were secured to the end of laces to prevent fray…

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete silver probable lace tag or chape, likely to be of early post medieval date. Formed from a rolled tube of sheet silver, which tapers towards one end, this is now flattened and incomplete at either end due to old breaks. It is decorated on both faces with a rectangular longitudinal panel, within which there is a wavy band, its edges defined by rocker zig-zag incised lines, with longitudinal grooves and small oval indentations within it.
This lace chape is of a similar form to medieval examples; however, the decoration appears to be more early post medieval in style.

TREASURE CASE : 2012 T785.
A complete cast silver lace tag of post-medieval date. The lace tag is formed from a single piece of silver which is a single-pointed ovate in shape with a large perforation, or eye, through the wider end. Each of the four edges are chamfered and the lace tag tapers to a rounded point. The object is undecorated.
Similar lace tags have been reported as Treasure for example 2012 T475 (HAMP-84B221) and 2005 T324 (HAMP-57FE56). The British Museum acquired a similar item 2008 T276 (BM 2010.8021.1; PAS ID: WILT-F492B5).

A sheet copper alloy chape, probably a lace tag, of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is formed from a rolled sheet of copper alloy with a vertical seam visible along one side. The chape tapers towards the base, which has a small circular opening, while the opposite end is also circular in shape but has been subject to extensive post-depositional damage. It measures 67.23mm in length, 15.84mm in diameter/width at the top, 8.24mm in diameter/width at the base, and weighs 6g.
This is probably a lace chape or tag and dates to the later Medieval or Post-Medieval periods of the 12th to…

A complete copper alloy sheet metal chape or tag, probably a lace tag. It is made from a single sheet of copper alloy rolled to form a cone with an overlapping seam. The cone tapers to a sharp point at one end and at the other is folded over in order to close it off. The tag measures 50.34mm in length, 13.56mm in width, and weighs 8.04g. Similar lace chapes are noted in Medieval Norwich (Margeson, 1993: pp. 22-23) and a near identical example from Axminster is published in Read (1995: pp. 70, no. 395). This example is of probable Medieval date, if not a little later.

a sheet copper alloy medieval probable lace chape or tag. It is a hollow cylinder, with a straight edge-to-edge seam, and is open at one terminal where there are two opposing rivet holes close to the edge.

The object measures 52.66mm in length and is 7.68mm wide at the open terminal and 5.45mm wide at the closed terminal. It weighs 3.88g.
This object may have functioned as a strap end with a pendant attached to the suspension hole. It is likely to date to the fourteen…

Possibly a large lace-end, or other tubular binding of similar size. This is a piece of sheet-bronze, about 0.4mm thick and 22mm long, which has been rolled around as a sheet to obtain a tubular diameter of 6mm. There are two parallel incised circumambient grooves about midway along the tube, and traces of a further groove near one end. If this is a lace-tag, it is for a very large lace or thong. It is probably Roman or Early Mediaeval

Copper-alloy lace-tag, made from sheet metal with an edge-to-edge seam. Two V-shaped nicks are cut out of one end and the resulting points bent inwards to form the closed end. The open end has no rivet, and may be incomplete. It tapers slightly from roughly 4 mm in diameter at the open end to roughly 3 mm in diameter at the closed end. The weight includes the soil contained within the lace-tag. The technique of cutting one end of the lace-tag into a series of points which are then bent inwards to form the closed end does not appear to be used either on the lace-tags from medieval …

Copper-alloy tube, perhaps a lace-tag. Although it is now rather battered, it can be seen that it is made from sheet metal with an edge-to-edge seam. Neither end is closed and there are no rivet holes, but one end does appear to have been flattened. This end appears to be complete, but the other looks as if it has been torn. Two lace-tags of much the same diameter and construction, but much longer, are illustrated in Margeson 1993; one is from a late 15th-century context, the other from a context of c. 1550-1700.
