Description: | Cast copper alloy gilded medieval annular brooch, 13th or 14th century. Flat sectioned ring with constriction for the pin. There are traces of decoration or an inscription on the obverse of the brooch, but this is unclear, due to corrosion. The complete circular sectioned pin is no longer freely moving, and there is a transverse ridge or collar just after the loop. There are traces of gilding on the obverse and reverse of the brooch. Diameter 23.98mm, width of ring 4.38mm, thickness (including pin) 3.79mm, thickness (across ring, not including pin) 2.10mm, weight 3.27g. Three similar brooches, one copper alloy with engraved false lettering, and two with religious inscriptions, one pewter, one silver, are published in Egan & Pritchard 1991 ("Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3; Dress Accessories c.1150-1450"), p249-50 & p254-5, no.s 1313, 1336 & 1337, dated to 1270-1350, 1230-1260 and 1350-1400 respectively. | Subjects: | annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
