Description: | Medieval Openwork gilt brooch, disc decorated with symmetrically arranged tendril motifs. The arrangement is incomplete, small pieces of the edge being missing. Four transverse grooves are visible in the upper part at the edge. On the reverse a rather flat strip appears to an integral pin, but the position of its junction with the main body is missing. Diameter 26mm. A very unusual object whose openwork ornament bears similarity with some harness pendants of the 12th century, such as one from Bawburgh (HER 40532). Brooches of any sort are not common in the 12th and 13th centuries. (Dress Accessories. 260-1).
