Description: | A medieval annular brooch with a setting which originally held a small, probably glass, 'gem'. The empty setting contains a white deposit which is the remains of the adhesive holding the gem in place. The brooch frame is undecorated but has a short grooved extension opposite the setting. High-status 14th-century examples of these brooches, often in precious metals, have this extension in the form of praying hands. There is a constriction halfway between the setting and the extension, which would originally have held the pin; the pin is now missing. | 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: | 1200
