Description: | Medueval annular brooch of 'disc-on-pin' type, oval-sectioned frame, with opposed right-angled grooves cut into the reverse for a missing separate crossbar. The metal of the simple wrought D-sectioned pin is of yellowish metal, the frame is brownish. It swings on a constriction on the frame that is set at a right-angle to the crossbar. Almost certainly this is a replacement and that this was once a ??disc-on-pin brooch (see Geake, H. (2005) in Medieval Archaeology 49, pgs 346-8). External diameter 29mm. Internal diameter 22mm. Cf. another example with replaced pin and (mostly) missing cross bar from Morley. This form of disc-on-pin brooch (including detached pins from the same) appears to have a strongly East Anglian distribution. The dating is uncertain but falls within the 13th or 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
