Description: | A copper alloy, medieval, annular brooch. The upper surface is decorated with seven regularly spaced, raised knops, three on each side of the pin, and one opposite the pin hinge. The pin remains in place on a narrowed section of the frame. There is no notch for the pin. Four of the raised knops are collets, each with a dark blue glass setting. The others are lower. The reverse is plain. The brooch has a dark brown patina and traces of gilding survive. It is 15.1mm in diameter and 3.6mm thick. It weighs 0.89gm. It dates from 1250 - 1400. For a similar brooch, with four knops, see: Egan & Pritchard, Museum of London Dress Accessories, No. 1344.
