Description: | Fragment of a Medieval brooch of ?disc-on-pin? variety dating to the later medieval period. The piece is the decorative pin part of the brooch and would have been set on an annular brooch (although this does not survive). Several similar examples have been recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme including SUR-04AFF5 and SF7957. The piece comprises a flat oval plate with five dome-headed copper alloy rivets which are non-functional and simply decorative. The brooch has been gilded with much of this remaining. The pin would have been attached onto the annular brooch but both side of the pin (the hinge end and the pin end) have both worn away. An example of a complete ?disc-on-pin? type brooch can be seen in ?Medieval Archaeology? 2005 Vol.XLIX, p.347. | 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: | 1300
