Latten
The term Latten refers loosely to
copper alloys, much like
brass, employed in the
Middle Ages and through to the late 18th and early 19th Centuries, for items such as decorative effect on borders, rivets or other details of metalwork (particularly
armour) and for funerary effigies. It was commonly formed in thin sheets and used to make church utensils.
