Description: | A copper-alloy mend from a medieval sheet metal vessel. Similar examples to this piece have been found in mid 12th to late 15th century layers in London (see Egan and Pritchard, 1998, p. 176-7).
The mend is roughly rectangular in plan. It has been formed by inserting the narrow ends of an octagonal piece of sheet metal through the break in the side of the vessel and folding back the ends. Sandwiched between two layers of the mend can be seen a remnant of the vessel.
The object measures 32mm long, 17.7mm wide and 4.2mm thick. The weight is 7.38g. | Subjects: | Mend | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
