Description: | A complete copper-alloy probable brooch frame. This frame is circular in shape measuring 29mm in external diameter and 20.9mm in internal diameter, the top edge of this frame slopes at a c45 degree angle to the lower edge. There is a slight notch on the lower edge of the frame, which may have been where the now missing pin was attached. The outer face of this frame is decorated with the repeated incised letters 'INRI' which is most likely to stand for 'Iesus Nazarensus Rex Iudaeorum.' Traces of gilding can also be seen on both the inner and outer faces of this brooch. It is medieval and probably 14th century in date.
