Description: | Medieval silver gilt annular brooch comprised of seven 'lobes'. Much of the gilding is now missing. It measures 13.4mm in diameter (internal 10.4mm) and weighs 0.73g. The pin, which is flat on the underside but slightly faceted on the other side (flattened mid-rib and sloping sides), makes a complete loop around the centre of one 'lobe' of the frame. The join is not immediately visible but is secured on the underside. A slight horizontal ridge is visible just beneath the loop but does not extend beyond the max width of the pin, here 2.7mm. It narrows over 14.2mm and rests between the two lobes opposite. Cf a similar but more elaborate (with false-collets) seven-lobed example in Egan (1991) no.1348. 13th-14th century.
