Description: | Medieval copper alloy annular brooch with two brambled bosses and two colletts, alternatively placed. The collett-settings are missing but probably contained a stone or paste originally.
The brooch is c.43mm in diameter and weighs 11.00g. The two collets are c.10 and 11mm high and are bent slightly outwards. The frame itself is triangular in section, being flat on the underside. The wire pin is attached to the frame through a piercing in one of the brambled bosses.
The brambled bosses are flanked on either side of the frame by a rib and are decorated with tiny punched circles.
A similar though more elaborate gold example set with precious stones from County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, dates to the 13th/ 14th century (Treasure Annual Report 2001 no.86). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
