Description: | The object is a cast copper alloy annular brooch. In plan, the brooch is circular. The brooch is decorated with cable style decoration. A small portion of the frame is narrowed to allow the pin to be hinged. The pin is cast, with a square block as decoration near the interior edge of the frame. The pin is then narrowed, is circular in section and tapers to a blunt point. The pin is seized, now, to the frame. The surface of the brooch and pin has traces of a dark green patina. The brooch measures 31.23mm diameter and 4.35mm thick. It weighs 6.5g. A similar decorated example is recorded in G. Egan and F. Pritchard, (1991: Dress Accessories c1150-1450) Nos. 1325 and 1331. These date to between c.1270 and c.1400.
