Description: | Treasure Report: 2006 T412 Parish/County: Snape with Thorpe, North YorkshireA Medieval pin from a brooch, much bent and distorted. The pin attachment is concealed by an applied floral mount and has a spherical collar decorated with small circular punches. Extant brooches of this kind show a design which employs similar floral mounts placed at equidistant intervals on a circular frame (cf. Treasure Annual Report 1998-1999, No. 150, pages 67-68; Treasure Annual Report 2002, No. 72, page 78; Treasure Annual Report 2003, No. 158, page 99). The pin is silver- gilt, and dates from the late thirteenth or early fourteenth centuries. The size of the pin suggests that it belonged to a larger than average brooch of its type.Dimensions: length 52 mm, width of mount 9 mm, length of mount 9 mm.Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
