Description: | An incomplete copper alloy annular brooch of Medieval date (c. AD 1250 - c. AD 1350). Maximum diameter: 25.7mm; width: 2.3mm and 2.1mm thick. Weight: 1.74g.The frame is sub-oval in plan and sub-circular in cross-section. Originally, the frame may have been circular. It is formed of twisted wire which is decorated with a row of pellets (granules) within each twist. The frame is narrowed to create a short constriction for the pin. However, the body of the constriction is incomplete due to an abraded break. The pin is also missing.The brooch is corroded overall, is in poor condition and the patina has largely exfoliated. However, small areas of the patina have survived and these are mid-green in colour.A similar brooch, although made of silver, has been recorded from Dunchurch, Warwickshire (Treasure Annual Report 2005/06, 108, no. 335, ref. 2006 T180).
