Description: | A copper-alloy brooch of 13th to 15th century date.
The frame of the brooch is heart-shaped and has an inscription extending around the upper face. Unfortunately, due to corrosion, this inscription is illegible. The pin constriction is located centrally, in the depression between the two curves at the top of the frame. The pin, which is complete, has been looped around this constriction. It is made from a length of copper-alloy wire of D-shaped section. All surfaces of the brooch retain traces of gilding.
The object measures 24.4mm long, 21.2mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The weight is 3.66g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
