Medieval or Post Medieval sheet copper alloy folded rivet, probably a repair for a copper alloy vessel. The rivet is made from a lozenge-shaped piece of sheet the ends of which have been folded in to meet in the middle and then back out. There are traces of sooting on the folded side. It measures 39.9mm by 21.3mm by 3.9mm and weighs 8.36g. A similar rivet is illustrated in Egan's 'Medieval Household' (1998, p. 176, no. 489) and in Egan (2005:101) Fig: 87.
