Description: | An annular, copper alloy brooch, consisting of a flat circle of metal with a crudely fashioned copper alloy wire pin, the point of which has broken away. The frame is damaged at one point. This may be a deliberate notch to house the pin. There is a slight angular projecting in the outer edge of the frame almost opposite this point which may be a pin rest. The frame is undecorated, but marked with striations as if worked with a rough file or other tool. It has a dark green patina. It is 21.9mm in diameter and 6.3mm thick. It weighs 3.08gm. For brooches of a similar style see Dress Accessories (Egan and Pritchard) p. 57-58. They tend to date from 1350 - 1400.
