Description: | A sub oval segment of copper alloy sheet vessel. The middle of the segment is split and a folded copper-alloy sheet rivet has been inserted in an effort to repair it. The rivet has an irregular octagonal outline, both halves of which have been folded sharply back on themselves to form a perpendicular central slatted stem. The stem has been passed through the split in the vessel and the ends of both halves bent back outwards to secure it into the damaged vessel. Both the rivet and the vessel have 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. Cf. with PAS record IDs: SWYOR-7618A1 and SF-98A993. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
