Description: | A copper-alloy possible annular brooch frame. The frame measures 18mm in external diameter and 11mm in internal diameter. The frame has six evenly spaced six-pointed stars on its front face, each star has a central circular recess which may have originally contained a setting of some kind. The front face of the frame between the stars is decorated with transverse grooves. On the back face there are two opposing scars, these could indicate where a pin could have been originally or alternatively this frame could have been a decorative element of another object and attached to it at these points. No parallel could be found for this possible brooch frame but its flimsy appearance and the decorative stars imply that it is post medieval if not modern in date.
