Description: | A cast copper alloy circular ring brooch, with traces of gilding surviving on the surface.
The brooch has a twisted ornament on half of the brooch. Inside the twists are lines of incised dots. The gilding can be seen only on this half of the brooch. The other half of the brooch is undecorated and has a circular section. A similar brooch can be seen in Ottaway and Rogers, p2911-2, Fig: 1486, No: 14442. They have said that the gilding was used to make the brooch look like a more expensive item.
The brooch frame has a small recess fro the pin. The pin is missing.
The metal is a dark greenish-brown colour.
This brooch dates to the 13th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
