Description: | Cast copper alloy heart-shaped ring brooch with plain robust frame, flat in section. The pin is in a vertical position, running from the centre of the heart to its point. The pin is 22 mm long and tapers to a point from a flat rectangular hinge which rests flush with the brooch.
There are examples of heart-shaped brooches illustrated in Bailey (1992), p.51, Fig. 43 and Fig. 44, which he dates from the 13th to the 15th century, and other plain brooches like this one, with robust frames, in various forms, have come from medieval contexts, which date them to the late 13th and early 14th centuries (Geoff Egan pers.comm.).
