Description: | Treasure Act case: 2007 T343
A silver medieval annular brooch.
The brooch has a chamfered front surface, which is higher on the interior edge and tapers down to the outer edge. The reverse is flat. There is a pin constriction in the annular frame for the pin. Either side of this constriction there is a flat surface on the front of the brooch, this extends for approximately 6.5mm on both sides and then some filing has taken place - where the front surface becomes chamfered.
The pin survives intact, to a length of 24.2mm. The pin has been neatly looped around the pin constriction. It is slightly D-shaped in section and tapers to a blunt point, which is slightly bent against the frame. Below the pin the frame has become worn, but there is no recess. The head of the pin has been decorated with three incised lines. The reverse has been filed.
This brooch dates to the 13th ?? 14th Century.
