Description: | A fine annular brooch made from copper alloy. Four projecting collets alternate with four square panels. The collets are tall hollow-topped bosses, three of which contain a white paste adhesive which originally would have retained a stone or glass setting. The square panels each have a central boss and dot decoration around the edges. The pin is attached through a hole drilled in the frame of the brooch close to one of the collets. This brooch is of a type often manufactured in precious metals with gem settings; compare some gold examples in the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum (Alexander and Binski 1987, nos. 642 and 650). Both of these gold brooches date to the 13th century, but the type continues in use into the 14th century. | Subjects: | annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
