Description: | Medieval or Post-Medieval copper alloy sheet rivet, of the type usually used for repairing metal vessels. The rivet is formed from kite shaped pieces of sheet metal, rolled into a cone, with the top folded over to form the head. It measures 48.5mm in length, 10.0mm in width at the head and 2.3mm at the tip and weighs 5.09g.A discussion of these rivets can be found in Egan (2005, p.101). Egan suggests that these were a later form a rivet, which took over from the Medieval folded staples in the late 15th to the mid to late 16th century and continued in use into the 18th century (ibid.).
