Description: | Copper-alloy annular brooch, complete with copper-alloy pin. The frame is circular, 23.5 mm in diameter, and extremely corroded. For half of its circumference it is circular in cross-section (2 mm in diameter) but the other half has wide spiral grooves giving the effect of a twisted square section. The faces of the square have faint traces of circular punchmarks. At one of the junctions between the two halves the corrosion has revealed a transverse line which may be a seam. At the other junction is a pin constriction on which the pin survives. This has a moulding at the junction of the shaft and loop in the form of a rectangle through which the shaft passes. The loop appears to have been made by hammering closed two halves, with a seam opposite the shaft. | 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: | 1066
