Description: | A Medieval copper alloy cast brooch, probably dating from the 12th century AD. The brooch is formed of a continuous circle of twisted copper alloy, the twists of which are decorated with alternate sections of larger and smaller circular pellets. There is a plain raised section in between each of the decorated sections. There is no pin constriction on the brooch, although there are two worn sections on either side of the brooch, possibly where a pin had been placed. Geoff Egan suggests that there are annular broaches without pin constrictions particularly from the 12th century. The brooch is 17.6mm in diameter, 2.7mm wide, 1.5mm thick and weighs 1.4g.
