Description: | Complete and very corroded copper alloy annular brooch of Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (AD 1400 ? AD 1600). Length 16mm, width 12mm and less than 1.0mm thick. Weight 0.59g. The oval frame has a width of about 2.5mm and is decorated with four semi-circular grooves. It has a constriction for the pin, the loop of which fully encloses the bar. The pin appears to be made of flat copper alloy wire and may have a slight swelling at the junction of the loop and the shaft. Traces of gilding survive on the upper and lower faces of the frame and also on the pin shaft. The frame may have been stamped from a sheet. Both the frame and the pin are in a very fragile condition. | 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: | 1400
