Description: | A Medieval copper alloy brooch with collets (12th -15th century). The brooch has a circular frame with a constriction for the pin. The pin loop is incomplete although this may be due to damage. There is a raised ridge at the junction between the pin loop and the pin shaft. The frame is constructed from a flat circular ring then the decorative ring is soldered on top. The decorative ring is penannular and the gap forms the pin constriction. The decoration comprises six collets inlaid with green glass, the glass is cracked and chipped in two of the settings and missing from the other four, leaving a white residue visible, this is probably the remains of the adhesive. On either side of each collet is a groove, and the frame expands slightly forming a beaded appearance. Dark green patina.Dimensions: diameter 23.32mm; thickness 4.04mm; weight 4.24g
