Description: | A copper-alloy sheet metal rivet, dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods.The rivet has been made from a truncated-lozenge-shaped piece of sheet metal which has been pushed through a tear in a sheet metal vessel and its ends folded inwards, forming a piece which is octagonal in plan. None of the vessel survives; however, an additional strip of metal has been inserted under one of the folds, probably to create a tighter fit.Dimensions: 23.9mm long, 17.9mm wide, 4.3mm thick. Weight: 3.97g.Examples of folded sheet metal rivets have been found in Medieval (Egan 1998: 176) and post-Medieval (Egan 2007: 101) levels in London.
