Description: | Complete Medieval copper alloy annular brooch. Although the pin is now separate, the brooch is in excellent condition, covered in a green patina. It measures 24x17x3mm and weighs 1.98g.
The brooch is decorated with four knops arranged in 2 pairs covered in small punched indentations. Between the two pairs are 2 roundels with thier sunken centres filled with a white substance. Nick Griffiths suggests that this is probably a calcium carbonate and linseed oil mixture to imitate a glass setting. From one roundel is a protrustion ending in a small, poorly finnished knop, again covered in numerous small puch marks.
The reverse is flat.
The pin is broken but has a width of only 1mm.
No direct parallels can be found. However, the decorated knops are simialar to objects 1330 and 1333 (Egan and Pritchard 1991) and the assymetry is similar to that in brooch 1335. These date from the 2nd half of the 13th century to 1400. | Subjects: | annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wood, Rachel | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
