Description: | Copper alloy, Wood and LeatherRivet. Cast rivet with a flat round head and a round section shank of diameter 6.5mm and length19.5mm passing through a circular rove. The rivet fastens an outer layer of leather of thickness 3.5mm to wood of thickness 10.7mm, with the rove behind the wooden element. This is perhaps a fragment from a saddle or similarly substantial item of horse gear; copper alloy corrosion products have contributed to the unusual preservation of organic materials, a process which has stained the wood fragment green. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Length (fragment): 36.2mm, Width: 23mm, Thickness: 19.7mm, Weight: 9.58gms.
