Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy annular framed brooch of possible Medieval date (AD 1200 - AD 1500). Diameter 22mm and 2.3mm thick. Weight 2.43g.The circular frame is convex at the front and flat on the reverse. It has an external diameter of 22mm and an internal diameter of 18mm. There are eight small equally spaced projecting lugs around the periphery. Two of the projecting lugs form a constriction for the missing pin. The iron-stained constriction is narrowed, possibly through wear by the movement of the pin. Opposite the constriction is an insignificant pin rest. There is also iron-staining near the pin rest. Two small protrusions on the inner edge of the frame are diametrically opposed and may be the stubs of some form of bar. However, if these are the stubs of a missing bar, it would not have formed a right angle with the pin alignment. The brooch has a mid-green patina and is in good condition.
