Description: | A copper alloy sheet metal rivet. Formed from a piece of copper alloy sheeting spirally rolled into a cone shape. This example lacks the folded and splayed head and appears broken at this point. Such rivets seem to have been used in the construction and repair of sheet metal vessels and implements. As it lacks the folded head, this could instaed possibly be a lace chape.Reference: Egan, G, 2007, "Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition", page 101, no 462, and figure 87, bDate: Late medieval to Post-medieval - late 15th to 18th centuryDimensions: 36.43 mm x 10.39 mm x 5.93 mmWeight: 4.31 g
