The centre is pierced by a rivet-hole containing a copper alloy rivet and securing a cut sheet bar to the reverse, one end of which has a straight cut terminal rolled-over to form a loop and the other terminal is pointed and bent inwards to provide a hook. Diameter 24mm. Cf. a coin brooch of similar construction in Margeson (1993), fig.7, no.66, and the discussion of an annular brooch with similar inscription in Egan (2002), pp.254-5, no.1336. 13th-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 |
