Description: | A decorated annular brooch. The brooch is decorated with what appear to be four zoomorphic heads; the heads are in pairs, with the members of each pair facing one another. Two of the heads have open mouths which grip the seat for the pin (now missing)whilst the other pair of heads grip the pin rest. The heads are decorated with small ciruclar punches. Knops are situated to either side of each pair of heads, each with a groove in which a glass or paste pellet would have originally been set. These are now missing. The reverse of the brooch is plain and flat. The brooch is medieval and probably dates from the 13th to 15th centuries. | 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
