Description: | A copper-alloy sheet metal rivet of medieval to post-medieval date. The purpose of such rivets was to mend holes in metal vessels. Examples have been found in medieval (see Egan, 1998, p. 176) and post-medieval (see Egan, 2007, p. 101) levels in London. The rivet has been made from a roughly lozengiform piece of sheet metal which has had its ends folded inwards and pushed through the hole in the vessel. These ends extend backwards at ninety degrees from the head of the rivet. This head is trapezoidal in plan.The object is very corroded. It measures 22.2mm long, 17.4mm wide and 8.3mm thick. The weight is 3.58g.
