Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch, with a D-shaped frame section. The brooch is gilded. The brooch has a pin recess, within which the pin still sits. Either side of the pin is a sub-rectangular collar. This arrangement is then bordered by to crescent shapes. The open side of the crescent then joins the D-shaped frame proper. This pattern is repeated on the opposite side of the brooch, but instead of the pin recess, there is a space for the pin to rest. The reverse of the brooch is flat and undecorated. The pin is complete and has a rounded section, it is 11.90mm in length. The metal is quite worn and the gilded surface is slightly corroded. This type of brooch dates to the medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
