Description: | Silver Gilt Annular brooch from Addlethorpe, Lincolnshire Date: Late 13th or early 14th century Circumstances of discovery: While searching with a metal detector Description: A silver gilt annular brooch, distorted and decorated with four symmetrically placed globular projections. Each of these has circular punch-marks creating the impression of clusters. The collar of the pin is similarly decorated but also having an integral lozenge shaped plate in the form of a four petalled flower on the top. Excluding the section of frame onto which the pin attaches, the other three sections each have a damaged flattened strip on which it appears that other mounts were once attached. A comparable brooch from Stirton, North Yorkshire (Treasure Annual Report 2003, number 158, 2003 T197) has a frame decorated with globular projections and petal mounts, and so it is likely that the missing mounts on the Addlethorpe brooch were of similar form to that found on the pin. The main shank of the pin is missing. For another comparable example see the Treasure Annual Report 2001, number 88 (2001 T25). Dimensions: 40mm x 24mm This object fulfils the Treasure Act (1996) in that it contains more than 10% gold or silver and is over 300 years old.
