Description: | Medieval copper alloy annular-framed brooch with decorative element, a tapering collet angled outwards and containing the remains (whitish) of an enclosure. A short protrusion on the other side of the circular or slightly ovate frame has a longitudinal surface groove. the back is smooth, but with vestigial traces of file-marks from tidying-up the casting. The pin is made from a strip of metal 1mm broad and 0.5mm thick, wrapped around the frame at a position 90 degrees around the frame from the above two ornaments, and set in a waisted indentation 3mm wide and 1mm thick: the ovate frame is 21mm long in the longer dimension (from ornament to ornament) and only 19mm across in the axis of the pin. The overall length is 31.5mm. The frame, which is domed in section and flat on the back, is 2.5mm broad and 1.5mm thick. the brooch is very closely paralleled in Egan and Pritchard (See reference below). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plunkett, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
