Intake manifold.

I have the manifold off and am going to clean it up.There is a pan of some type under the middle of the manifold with what looks like two rivets.can someone tell me what is this?

I figured it out

It’s a heat shield. It prevents the oil from burning where the exhaust cross-over goes through the manifold.

Thanks,I figured it out after I posted it.
