Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch, dating from the 13th/ 14th century, between AD 1250 ? 1350 (diameter: 27mm; thickness: 3mm; weight: 4.8g). The brooch is plainly decorated on one side (front) of only with a series of fourteen slight constructions, dividing the decoration into fifteen fields (average length: 3mm) along the frame. There is an additional prominent constriction (width: 2mm) on the brooch frame where the pin (now missing) would have originally been held in place. The brooch is not decorated on the back, and overall, the artefact is in a worn but fair condition with a dark green/ brown patina. An identical (although smaller) example is illustrated in Egan, G & Pritchard, F, 2002, ?Medieval Finds from Excavations in London: 3: Dress Accessories c. 1150 ? c. 1450?, pages 249-50, ref no 1311. | 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: | 1250
