Description: | Incomplete copper alloy medieval annular brooch. Approximately 60 percent of the original frame survives. It was once circular in plan but is now ?C? shaped. The frame has a flat reverse and is slightly domed to the front. The front face of the frame is decorated with four globular knops, one larger knop recessed for a setting or enamel, flanked to one side by two plain knops and one to the other side. A separate fragment of the brooch also exists with a large knop with a recess. This is filled with an unknown material, perhaps adhesive. This was probably positioned opposite the other large knop. If there were two plain knops between the larger knops, this would give the brooch six in total and means that only one is now missing. The original surface of the brooch is missing and it is very worn. It now has a mid green patina. The reverse of the brooch is plain with no signs of attachment. Break edges on the main body and the separate fragment are worn smooth, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The frame is 26.72mm in diameter, 5.86mm wide and 2.18mm thick. The larger knop is 5.38mm high. The object weighs 4.11g. The separate fragment is 12.1mm long, 5.64mm wide, 4.44mm thick and weighs 0.98g. It is 13th or 14th century in date. | 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
