Description: | A complete cast copper alloy annular brooch, dating to the 13th/ 14th century AD (diameter of brooch frame: 28mm; thickness of frame: 3mm; length of pin: 30mm; width of pin: 3mm; thickness/ depth of pin: 3mm; weight: 7.1g). The brooch frame and pin are plain and undecorated with a D-shaped section and small constriction/ recess (width: 3.5mm) along the frame for the complete pin to curve and secured around. At the opposing side of the brooch frame, there is a slight indentation, which has also worn during to continued use of the artifact as an item of dress. The pin is circular in side section and continues to be the same width and thickness to the terminal end. Overall, the brooch is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Egan, G & Pritchard, F, 2002, ??Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 ?? c. 1450??, pages 248-9, ref no 249. However, this illustrated example has a tapering pin, which terminates in a point. | Subjects: | annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
