Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch, dating to the 13th - 15th Century. The brooch frame survives intact but the pin is missing. The brooch has been pressed from a sheet of copper alloy, so the raised design on the front in embossed on the reverse. The design alternates between parallel lines which have a central hole and four small raised pyramids. The holes are used to house iron rivets, which have a decorative function - as they have domed heads. Two are missing - making the holes visible. The reverse has two loops of folded over copper alloy sheet soldered to it. These are unusual but must have housed the pin - which was perhaps slotted through the loops. Similar to examples in Egan and Pritchard, p253, Fig: 163.
