Description: | A complete gilded copper-alloy annular brooch frame with attached in situ copper-alloy pin, in good condition and of 14th century date. The brooch is circular in shape and measures 26mm in external diameter. The back is flat and undecorated. The circular base of the front face is decorated with tiny transverse grooves, and projecting from the circular base are six evenly spaced collets. Each collet is trapezoidal in profile and rectangular in section. The flat top of each has a circular setting with traces of a white glue/cement for jeweled, glass, or enamel decoration (none surviving). Each collet measures 4.5mm in base length, 3.5mm in height, and 1.8mm in thickness. Between two of the projecting collets the frame is a gilded copper-alloy cast pin, which has a rectangular constriction at the base of the pin inside the frame. The pin is attached to the frame via an open loop. The four faces of the pin taper to a point and measures 18mm in length and 2mm in width at the base, its tip rests between the two opposing collets.A similar example is SF-D124F4.
