Description: | A rivet with rove attached; made of copper alloy and dating from the Post Medieval to Modern period, about 1500 -1880 AD. It has a light green patina. It has a circular disc and shank which were cast in one with the seam up the side visible. A separate rove is slotted onto the shank, and the end burred over to hold it. The integral disc is only partially complete. The shaft is circular in section. The rove measures 14.76 in diameter. The rivet is 14.53mm long, 5.42mm in thickness and weighs 5.25g. The function of this rivet is unknown. The condition and design of the rivets suggest a fairly late date. For reference compare SWYOR-B943A0, SUSS-45A671 and HAMP-2AA831.
