Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. It is square in section with a short rectangular constriction at one side for the now missing pin. Half of the frame to one side of the constriction is twisted to create a cabled pattern, whilst the other half remains undecorated. All surfaces have suffered from extensive post-depositional wear and are pitted with pale blue-green copper alloy corrosion. The brooch measures 23.11mm in external diameter, 17.66mm in internal diameter, 2.35mm in thickness, and weighs 1.84g.This brooch frame is similar to an example published from Medieval London that is dated to the 13th century AD (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1310). This suggests a Medieval date for the current example and perhaps as early as the 13th century.
