Description: | A copper-alloy repair patch (or folded 'paperclip' rivet) from a post medieval vessel. It has an uneven hexagonal outline, folded from a lozenge shaped sheet and was used to fill small splits in sheet vessels. The patch has an even dark green patina. Egan mentions a broad date range for this type of pot mend, dating from the Early Medieval to Post Medieval periods (Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition, page 101) but also suggests that a central period for the use of this type of rivet as dating from about the late 15th to the mid to late 16th Centuries.
