Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch.
The brooch frame is circular with a flattened section and a bevelled edge. Seven rounded collets have been cast integrally to the brooch. The collets have been spaced alternately with rectangular extensions, which project out from the side of the brooch. The settings inside the collets are empty but still contain a white paste which would have held a stone in place.
A pin hole (for attaching the looped end of the pin) can be seen on the reverse of the brooch. The pin is missing. There is a no pin recess on the frame.
A similar brooch can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p249, 1309. It is therefore medieval in date. | 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
