Description: | Very frail and thin and probably quite worn copper alloy medieval brooch with a plain annular frame, oval in shape though possibly originally more round and is squashed in this way - the pin is 3mm longer than the frame. In section the frame is circular and 1mm diameter. There is a V-shaped notch just below the centre of one of the long sides. This is no doubt a constriction for the pin, though it is unclear whether it has worn like this or been made like this. The metal is greeny brown in colour. The pin is flat and 1mm wide. No original patina survives. Weighing 0.35g. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
