Description: | A complete copper-alloy brooch frame, circular in shape, measuring 31.58mm in external diameter and 14.98mm in internal diameter. There is a pin hole near to the inside edge of the frame, with a flat area, for the pin tip to rest on opposite this. This pin is now missing. The back face of this frame is flat and the front face is decorated with six evenly spaced roughly circular collets arranged close to the inner edge, each one measures c4.5mm in diameter and 2.79mm in height. The settings of these collets are all missing. Nearer to the outer edge of the frame there are eleven smaller collets, which appear to be randomly arraanged, measuring 1.6mm in diameter and 2.4mm in height. Three of these collets have a rounded green glass setting within them. Again arranged presumably at random there are small circular perforations through the frame inbetween the collets, these perforation measure 1.4mm in diameter, these perforations may have originally have had the smaller sized collets fitted into them. File marks can be seen on both faces of this frame. This brooch frame is medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
