Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy sheet vessel repair patch, which would have been riveted onto the damaged area of the sheet vessel of medieval date. Originally rectangular in shape, measuring 76.2mm in length and 52.99mm in width, one corner and one short and one long edge are now missing due to old breaks. Around the two surviving edges of the sheet there are evenly spaced copper-alloy rivets with flat rectangular heads and split folded terminals. On the back face there is also the fragmentary remains of a second piece of sheet copper-alloy, presumably part of the damaged vessel that this patch was used to repair. This fragmentary sheet has a darker blacker patina than the repair patch, presumably due to longer exposture in an open fire. A similar repair patch is known from medieval London (1998, 176-77, fig 144, no 494). | 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: | 1300
