Description: | A lead alloy rivet or stud / nail. The rivet has a circular head and a rectangular shank that is piercing and bent over another sheet of probably lead alloy, encrusted with iron corrosion. The head of the rivet is large and flat without decoration; this may be a type of vessel mend although its true purpose remains uncertain. The construction and shape of the rivet points to a later Post-medieval or early-modern date, c. 1700-1900 AD.
