Description: | A copper alloy annular brooch. This is from the Medieval period and has an external diameter of 36.14mm and an internal diameter of 25.67mm. The frame is decorated with grooves running across the curved side placed in interval groups of 3 or 4 grooves per section. The underside is flat, giving it a semi-circular section. The brooch has a recessed bar to hold the missing pin and the frame contains rust corrosion on the opposite side, set off slightly to the left. This could suggest the use of an iron pin. It has a green and corroded patina. There are similar, although not exact parallels to this from 'Dress accessories' (Egan and Pritchard 1991, no.1318) and from the PAS database (record SWYOR-DB5932) dating to the Medieval period.
