Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch.
The brooch frame is circular with a flattened section. The frame is formed from four crescents, set alternately with four rounded lobes, all joined together.
The pin survives, extending out from a pin constriction, cut into one of the lobes. The pin has a circular section and has been looped around the constriction. The pin tapers to a blunted point. There is a no pin recess on the frame. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour.
A similar brooch can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p249, Fig: 160. It is therefore medieval in 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: | 1200
