Description: | Medieval Annular brooch, broad flat hoop, pin constriction and cast pin. Engraved inscription, probably garbled, on the front face of the hoop: from the pin constriction clockwise to the pin rest no legible letters, then scarcely legible letters tentatively read as D A N (retrograde) O E, followed by a large zig-zag. Next to the loop at the broad end of the pin an animal head with deeply drilled eyes holds the remainder of the pin in its open mouth. The animal head is very similar to those on various small pieces of 12th-century Romanesque metalwork, e.g. Zarnechi et al. (1984) 250-1, cat. nos.250-2
