Description: | A slightly corroded copper-alloy fragment, which probably represents part of an annular brooch of 13th to 15th century date.
It is probable that just under half of the original brooch remains and that original object would have been sub-circular. The outer ring has three protrusions, each of which is divided into three segments, giving the impression of wings. The central void of the brooch would originally have been formed of three joined circular holes - one at the top and two at the bottom - but now only one and a half remain. The reverse of the piece is flat and plain.
It measures 28.3mm high by 16mm wide and 2.1mm thick. The weight is 3.18g. | 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
