Description: | A copper alloy pot repair formed from a sheet of copper alloy spirally rolled lengthways, to a point.
It is hollow. It tapers from the widest end is open, to a point.
The seam is crude and runs along the length of the object where the edges of the sheet have been folded over each other. It is slightly worn with a dark greyish-green patina. It is probably medieval to post medieval in date, circa 15th - 16th century.
The rolled 'rivet' would then have been hammered flat into a hole in the vessel to form the mend. | Subjects: | Pot repair | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
