Description: | Copper-alloy annular brooch. Shallow D-sectioned frame. Decorated with moulded transverse bands, possibly intended as stylised animals' heads. These are arranged in four groups of three - two on each side flanking the hole for the pin attachment and the recessed pin rest opposite. There are also two raised circular settings deeply recessed for glass/enamel/stones set opposite each other forming a cross with the pin hole end rest. The edges of the frame are bevelled. The frame is flat and undecorated at the back. The pin is a strip of copper alloy formed into a hook for attachment at one end and pointed at the other. Similar hole for pin in B.Read, Metal Artefacts No.783. Recorded at the Hidden Treasures Finds Day at the County Museum, Taunton.
