Description: | Probable copper-alloy annular brooch of 13th to 15th C date. The piece consists of a ring measuring 27.5mm in external diameter. The metal of the ring is 2.7mm wide by 1.5mm thick and has slightly convex surfaces and a sharp break between the upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface has decoration in the form of three pannels of closely-spaced, vertical indentations, separated by three plain panels. The ring does not sit flat but, instead, is slightly bent, possibly intentionally. There is no pin or evidence for one, suggesting that it originally consisted of a wire which was wrapped around the frame. The weight of the object is 2.34g. | 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
