Description: | A copper-alloy brooch, the frame is now slightly bent but would have originally been circular in shape with a diameter of c20mm. The front face of the frame is decorated with pairs of square-shaped protrusions, with one square near to each edge, arranged alternatively with slightly concave oval-shaped discs, which appear to have had glass within them, remains of red and clear glass can be seen in some of the ovals. Inbetween the oval-shaped disc and pairs of squares there are small circular indentations. The front face is also gilded. The copper-alloy sheet pin remains in place and is bent round the pin constriction with an open loop, it is 20mm in length and tapers to a point. This brooch is likely to be medieval in date (Geake 2001, 25).
