Description: | A copper alloy, annular brooch of the medieval period, dating from c. 1270-1350. The brooch is circular and has a frame which is sub-triangular in section; with vertical outer edge, and an angled upper surface. The angled surface, which would be the most visible when being worn, is decorated with eight unevenly spaced circular holes. There are seven notches on the corner between the front face and the side, placed between the holes. There are pairs of angled grooves cut into the side of the frame - 20 grooves in all. The frame is recessed to provide a pin bar; the pin is missing. The brooch has a dark brown patina. The bevelled reverse is undecorated but filemarks are visible. The frame is 17.9mm in diameter and 4mm thick. It weighs 3.36gm. A brooch of almost identical design is number 1317 on page 251 of Egan & Pritchard, Museum of London, Dress Accessories.
