Description: | A complete silver annular brooch of Medieval, fourteenth century date (AD 1300 - AD 1400). Outer diameter:The frame of the brooch is circular and has a constriction for the pin. The inner edge at the front of the frame has cabled decoration. This is interrupted by the constriction (about 1.8mm wide) and also by a small notch in which the tip of the pin rests. On the underside of the frame, just to one side of the notch, is a maker's mark formed by the initials RM. The silver pin has a length of 20.6mm and a maximum width, across the loop, of 2.0mm. The pin is rectangular throughout its length and tapers to a sharp tip. On the top of the pin, close to the loop, are three inscribed contiguous saltire crosses. The shaft of the pin is curved downwards, perhaps as a result of the method by which it was secured to a garment. The brooch is in good condition but is slightly worn.Dimensions: Outer diameter: 22.1mm; inner diameter 15.2mm; thickness: 2.1mm; weight: 2.75g.
