Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch. The brooch frame is circular with a flattened section. The frame is formed from four crescents, set alternately with four rounded lobes, all joined together. The pin survives, extending out from a pin constriction, cut into one of the lobes. The pin has a circular section and has been looped around the constriction. The pin tapers to a blunted point. There is a no pin recess on the frame. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. A similar brooch can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p249, Fig: 160. It is therefore medieval in date.
