Title
1777 Medieval lace chape.jpg
Description
English: Copper alloy lace chape length 21mm, diameter 8mm, thickness <1mm, weight 1.02g. The chape is made of sheet copper alloy that has been wrapped around to form a cone, the edges of the sheet are butted together. There is a hole in the centre where the chape would have been sown/riveted into place.

Although the artefact is flattened it appears to have had a large aperture suggesting that this might have been used for leather.

These chapes were put on to the end of leather or textile laces to help not only protect the ends but also felicitate threading and act as a decorative addition to the clothing. The majority of the examples found come from 15th century contexts, but examples are found in illustrated texts as early as the 12th century such as that in the Winchester Psalter, and few examples found in 16th century (Egan, 1991, 281-286), suggesting a 1100-1540 date.
