Description: | Complete Medieval cast copper alloy annular brooch (13th century). The brooch has a circular-sectioned circular frame with a recessed pin bar. A sheet copper alloy pin has been wrapped around the bar and remains intact. The pin rests on the front surface of the brooch frame, making it an annular brooch. The circular frame has incised decoration in a cable pattern. There are 11 equally-spaced incised lines, and the recessed pin-notch is spaced to be the twelfth ray in the design. The brooch has a dark olive-green patina with a pale concretion on the back. It measures 24.4mm in diameter, 2.3mm thick and weighs 2.33 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a number of similar examples, p. 249 refs. 1310-1312, all from 13th century contexts.
