Description: | Copper alloyRivet. Shoe shaped rivet; a form particularly associated with early medieval burials of Frankish affinity, wherein groups of three such rivets would fasten a buckle to a strap. The stub of the rivet remains on the back of a flat plate with pointed 'toe', marked 'instep' and a rounded 'heel'. The greyish colour of the polished display surface suggests an alloy with a significant admixture of tin. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-600.Length: 21.6mm, Width: 10.9mm, Thickness: 3.0mm, Weight: 2.94gms.
