Description: | A worn and corroded copper-alloy brooch, circular in shape measuring 18mm in external diameter and 10mm in internal diameter. Although severly corroded on the front face of this brooch a series of constrictions can be seen forming a pattern of rectangular-shaped knops of a length of 8mm and 5mm alternatively. Faint traces of three parallel rows of small circular knops can also be seen, these rows run continually on the front face. Traces of gilding also appear to be present. The back face is plain and undecorated, apart from further traces of gilding. The pin is still attached to the pin constriction although it is incomplete due to an old break and corroded. Similar brooches have been found in London and are Medieval in date; c14th century (Egan and Pritchard 1991, p249, Fig 160). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1300
