Description: | A copper-alloy pot rivet and sheet metal fragment of probable medieval date. Similar rivets have been found in 12th to 15th century levels in London (G.Egan, 1998). The object consists of two sub-rectangular pieces of sheet copper-alloy which have been joined together by the insertion, through a vertical slit in the centre of both pieces, of a rivet. This rivet is formed from a small lozenge-shaped sheet of copper-alloy which has had its two ends folded together and pushed through the slit. These ends have then been bent backwards (one is now missing) and the folded end has been hammered down in order to secure the fixing. The object measures 28.4mm long by 17.3mm wide and 7.6mm thick. It weighs 5.34g.
