Description: | Treasure Report: 2006 T613 Parish/county: West Clandon, Surrey A medieval annular brooch fragment, the frame originally formed a circular hoop, with a pin. The fragment has an attached four-sided rosette impressed with eight spokes radiating from a central point and interspersed with four dots/points. Originally the ring would have been divided into four quadrants, each quarter with an applied rosette. The brooch is silver gilt and dates from the 13th - 14th and is related to brooches found in Scottish hoards, though increasingly now found south of the border since the Treasury Act. Ring brooches first gained popularity in 13th century. Simple brooches such as this was used as a practical fastening for clothes rather than purely for adornment. 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.
