Description: | A fragment of a Medieval silver gilt annular brooch. A small segment of a brooch with alternating knops and recesses. A single complete knop flanked by the edges of the neighbouring recesses is all that remains. The knop is circular and domed and is decorated with ring stamping over the whole surface. What remains of the recesses appear also to be circular and would originally have held stones of some type. The front retains much of its gilding, although there is some wear on the top of the knop. The back is flat and undecorated.
A parallel can be seen on the PAS database (see record WILT-125A66, Katie Hinds) which is dated to the 13th to 14th century.
