Description: | Medieval Gilt pin from brooch of 'disc-on-pin' type. The pin has a lozengiform expansion with a central perforation surrounded by four convex-conical headed rivets. Loop bent and distorted. 33 x 17mm. It seems unlikely that these brooches served any real function and they appear to have been purely decorative. Dating is uncertain, but from their general style is perhaps later medieval, Williams and Geake (2005) Med.
