Description: | Medieval silver annular brooch complete with pin. It is flat in section and 0.7mm thick. It has a diameter of c.23mm (it is a little bent) and an internal diameter of c.17mm. It weighs 1.72g.
The pin is also flat in section. It is 3mm wide where it curls around the frame and narrows to a point over c.22mm. It is decorated just below the curl to the upper side only with two transverse grooves.
The brooch has a constriction for the curl of the pin and also a very tiny one at the opposite side. This is probably the result of wear.
There is decoration on the frame either side of the constriction only, which consists of two transverse grooves. 12th-14th century. | 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: | 1101
