Description: | A copper alloy annular brooch which is probably medieval in date. It has a diameter of 34.8mm and is 4.1mm thick. The frame is circular in section and the front is decorated with transverse grooves spaced a few millimetres apart and is silvered. There is a constriction where the pin would have been attached and a slight notch opposite as a pin rest. The pin has not survived. There are traces of rust corrosion on two other areas of the frame. This could possibly suggest that the pin was made of iron and that it became displaced on the frame when in the ground, and then rusted away. Similar brooches are discussed in Dress Accessories by Egan and Pritchard (1991) but there is no close parallel. | Subjects: | annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
