Title
Medieval lace tag
Description
English: 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. It tapers slightly to the opposite terminal which is enclosed and flattened, and has a single piercing for suspension. 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 fourteenth or fifteenth centuries.
