Description: | A complete copper alloy rivet of Post-medieval to Modern date (AD 1500-1800). It has a circular disc and shank which were cast as one. A separate rove is slotted onto the shank, and the end burred over to hold it. The integral disc is only partially intact. There is some leather still attached around the shank, this, combined with the condition and design of the rivets suggest a fairly late date.The metal is a dark brown in colour with a light green patina.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities database, unique ID: : LANCUM-B85466, HAMP-2AA831.The rove measures 14.54mm in diameter. The rivet is 9.83mm long, 17.47mm in width and weighs 4.79g. The function of this rivet is unknown.
