Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy open frame brooch of medieval date. The original form of this brooch was probably comparable to an example from Meols, Cheshire - see Griffiths et al., 2007, p. 144, no. 1727. The Meols example was assigned to the late 13th/early 14th century AD.Approximately half of the (probably) oval frame remains. At the centre is a truncated conical collet containing a corroded white glass paste setting. The sides are semi-circular in section. At the point where the brooch is broken is a recessed pin constriction.The piece measures 15.7mm long, 25.5mm wide, 5.3mm thick and weighs 1.7g.
