Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval annular brooch. On the ring are six equally spaced, high standing, and outwardly sloping collets with the white remains of paste insets. On the inner slope of the ring is openwork decoration. One of the holes perforates the ring and would have been used to hinge the pin. Opposite the pinhole, on the top of the ring is a horizontal groove to rest the pin in. The pin is missing. Between the collets is varying incised decoration. The rear face is plain. The diameter of the brooch is 33.17mm, the thickness is 8.75mm and the weight is 14.36g. A similar example can be found in Hattatt, 1989, p233 No.1717 which has been dated to the 13th century.
