Description: | Copper alloy possible vessel repair patch. A composite object comprising at least two layers of sheet metal of thickness 0.8-0.9mm thickness and a third thicker (c.1mm) plate or rove which appears to have secured a rivet passing through the rest. The flattened and presumably burred rivet head is of c.5.5mm diameter, and it passes at right angles through the two overlapping tongues of sheet. It appears from the bowing of the metal to have been driven through rather than occupying a drilled hole. The smaller thicker plate serving as a rove for this rivet bears linear features, possibly one V-shaped element of a strapwork motif within another, and possibly with a straight incised line border situated at the point of the outermost V limiting both. This appears likely to have been detached from a more extensively decorated object or scheme. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 750-850.Length: 24.8mm, Width: 10.0mm, Thickness (overall): 6.3mm, Weight: 2.66gms.
