Description: | Medieval gilt silver brooch with a flat (though bent) underside and moulded decoration to the opposite (upper) side. The pin is intact.The brooch is 14mm in diameter (internal 9mm max, 8mm min). It is adorned with 8 moulded knops, now rather worn, and possibly originally cross hatched, although there is too much wear to be certain. One knop (no.3) appears to have cut decoration, similar to the arm of a lombardic cross.The pin curls around the frame between knops 8 and 1, resting between 4 and 5. It is 2.5mm wide at this point. A ridge crosses the pin just below, making the pin 3mm wide. Beneath this it is triangular in shape and D-shaped in section (with a flat underside), narrowing evenly to the point, which is (deliberately) bent.Weighs 0.91g. 13th/ 14th century in date.
