Description: | A copper-alloy pin from an open frame/annular brooch of 13th to 15th century date.Apart from the loss of the end of the loop, the pin is complete. It has a flat underside, vertical outer sides and a rounded upper surface. The height and thickness taper towards the point, which is angled to help it fit the now-missing frame. On the upper surface, adjacent to the loop, is a raised area with a transverse central groove. This would have served to prevent the textile from slipping out of the brooch. The object measures 44.7mm long, 3.2mm wide and 8.9mm high. The weight is 3.17g.
