Description: | The vessel repair is made from a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy. One long edge has been ripped as it is jagged and not cut. This rip is not recent. In profile it has been folded forming a 'V' shape.
Whether the copper alloy has been cast, or cut from a sheet is uncertain.
The repair has three holes in a row. The central hole has a folded rivet. On one surface the rivet has a square head, on the other surface, once through the hole the rivet has two corner flaps which have been folded back to secure the repair in place.
The repair has a patchy dark green patina, otherwise the surface is slightly corroded.
Egan illustrates similar repairs (488-494) and dates these to mid 12th to late 15th century to repair small splits on sheet vessels.
The repair measures 30.7mm from the fold to the longest edge, and 19.2mm wide. It weighs 6.09g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1150
