Description: | Distorted fragment of 13th-century silver gilt annular brooch with narrow (2.5mm) and thin (0.5mm) frame broken at each end, bifurcating immediately before one break. Two collets, both empty apart from calcium carbonate fixative, one small and cylindrical, the other larger and tapering. A foliate stem or branch extends from near the base of the smaller collet and divdes into two before joining the larger near its top. Two scars on the opposite side of the collet show that another branch (now missing) had joined tere. Cf. A copper alloy example from London, Egan & Pritchard Dress Access. No.1319.
