Description: | A complete silver annular brooch. The frame of this brooch is flat and circular in shape, measuring 18mm in external diameter and 12mm in internal diameter. The front face of this frame is decorated with re-occuring almost S-shaped grooves, traces of gilding can also be seen on both the front and back faces. There is a pin constriction, 4mm in length, which consists of a rectangular shaped bar. The pin is now detached from the brooch frame but still survives, it is also gilded silver and measures 17mm in length and would have been attached to the frame via an open loop. It tapers to a point, has a slightly rounded front face and a flat back face, there is a transverse ridge where the shaft meets the loop. This brooch is medieval and probably dates to between the 12th and 15th centuries. | 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: | 1100
