Description: | Medieval brooch, circular shape, made of a flattened band. The outer surface is decorated on both edges with a running pellet design, framing a zigzag pattern which finishes with floriate terminals, where the swivelling pin (missing) was originally located.
The brooch is silver and dates from the late 13th century. Such a brooch might have been used at the neck to pin together two pieces of light fabric or used decoratively, by both men and women.
