Description: | The silver annular frame is of square cross-section, which has been twisted to give a ‘cable’ appearance. A single line of close-spaced pellets runs along each face. There is a restriction to hold the pin which has a wrap-around head, and a transverse raised ridge at the junction of the pin-head and shaft. External frame diameter: 19mm. Overall pin length: 18mm. Weight: 2.26g.
A number of brooches of this general type are now known from Wales (for example, a copper-alloy brooch decorated with double beaded lines from Penhow, Monmouthshire; M Redknap, `Some medieval brooches, pendants and moulds from Wales: a short survey’, Archaeologia Cambrensis 143 (1994), pp. 92-138, no. 16). A similar silver brooch with cable-twist and repeating pattern of two lines of dots on the frame was found at Winchester in a mid- to late 13th-century context (M Biddle and D A Hinton, `Annular and Other brooches’, in M Biddle (ed.), Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester, Winchester Studies 7ii (1990), 639-643, no. 2022). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
