An incomplete cast copper-alloy chape dating to the late medieval to post-medieval period. The object has been formed from a single sheet of copper alloy which has been rolled into a semi-circular shape tapering to one end. The chape does not have a reverse, the reverse plate would have been formed from a flat plate. The narrow terminal end is rounded. The open end is complete and has a serrated edge, formed from irregular notches. Due to its size this chape probably once housed a dagger rather than a sword. The surface is mid greyish-green in colour. This chape dates to the medieval …

A cast copper-alloy chape dating to the post-medieval period. The object has been formed from a single sheet of copper alloy which has been folded into a ‘flattened conical’ shape tapering to one end. The join runs between both ends. The narrow terminal end is unclosed, slight horizontal indentations on the end suggest that it may have had a separate finial attached. Due to its size this chape probably once housed a dagger rather than a sword. The surface is dark greyish-green in colour. This chape dates to the post-medieval period between 1500-1700.

There is a rectangular slot cut into the base of the object, which may have once housed the tang from the dagger. The upper structure is them made up of three prominent lobes, which form ridges. The middle one is at a 12 o’clock posit…
