Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval elaborate annular brooch, now incomplete in as much as it is missing its pin. The frame of the brooch is decorated with ten cylindrical collets (H.: 6.6mm) with hollow centres (to take enamel or gems) which retain a white setting. Between each collet there are rectangular knops on the outer edge. Between two of the collets is a pierced hole to take the pin. The inner edge (Dia.: 22.6mm) is uneven but retains a broadly circular shape. The lower surface of the brooch is plain and flat. Similar annular brooches with collets can be found illustrated in Hattatt (2001, 383; fig. 242), which he dates to the 13th to 15th century; a similar brooch can also be found in Griffiths et al. (2007, 144; ref. 1723).
