Description: | A complete copper-alloy annular brooch frame. Circular in shape, measuring 18.5mm in external diameter and 13.6mm in internal diameter. The frame has a worn pin hole (the outer edge of which is now missing), the pin is missing. The front face of the frame is decorated with six evenly spaced roughly circular collets, each measuring c2mm in height and c2.9mm in diameter. All six have the remains of a white powdery paste within them, it is likely that this 'cement' would have originally have held a setting of some sort in place. This brooch frame is most likely to be medieval in date and is very similar to one found in Norwich, although this example had its blue glass settings in situ, its context has been dated to 1275-1400 (Margeson 1993, 14 fig 7), and it is likely that this example is of a similar date. | 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: | 1275
