A sheet copper alloy spirally rolled rivet. The rivet is made from a lozenge-shaped piece of copper alloy sheet rolled to form a cone. The remaining point is folded into the wide end and the head formed by a slight splaying at this end. Such rivets were used to repair copper alloy vessels. This example is similar to a number found in London and dated to the late 15th to late (or mid?) 16th centuries (Egan 2005: 101, although such rivets are observed to have continued in use into the 18th century (ibid). Late Medieval to Post Medieval - late 15th to 18th century Dimensions: 60.93 mm…

A copper alloy sheet metal repair rivet for a vessel from the Medieval to early-post-Medieval periods, circa mid 15th to 16th century. It is sub-rectangular in plan. The patch has been constructed from a lozenge-shaped sheet, with the opposing ends folding inwards towards the centre and then the pointed ends were passed through the split and folded back. The smaller fold has a layer of iron oxide trapped in the fold which seems to suggest this was used on a iron vessel.The object has a light green patina. Length of patch: 22.43 mm. Width: 14.50 mm.
