Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy medieval annular brooch. The brooch is seemingly bevelled externally and internally on both faces and as such would have a lozengiform cross section (int. dia.: 22.6mm). In the raised central circle there is punched decoration. Both surfaces feature incisions which hint at lettering: 'O's and retrograde 'N's. In this sense the brooch is similar to one illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 249; ref. 1308). The frame is recessed for a solid pin. The pin's loop in not quite complete. The pin has a solid circular boss at the collar. It has corroded to the same blue-green colour as the frame.
