Description: | A possible Medieval copper alloy annular brooch (circa 14th century AD). The brooch is decorated with three cast circular loops placed asymmetrically on one side of the circular frame. The holes taper and it is possible that they are intended as 'gem' settings. The pin rest is a rectangular projection from the frame with a central groove. The pin is missing and was probably iron as there is some iron corrosion adjacent to the pin rest, although this may be coincidental. The copper alloy has a dark green patina. Dimensions: diameter: 56.15mm; thickness: 4.9mm; weight: 26.1g.
