Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy brooch of Medieval date. It is missing its pin due to old breaks and has a slight transverse bend probably resultant from post-depositional damage. The brooch is lozengiform, triangular in section and has a deeply incised pin slot with cylindrical bar where the pin would have originally hinged. The worn front face has traces of moulded and gilded decoration seemingly consisting of double parallel borders on inner and outer edges, perhaps with punched or pelleted decoration within them, although the precise form of the decoration remains uncertain due to the preservation of the object. The back face is flat and undecorated. It measures 37.29mm in length, 31.39mm in width, 2.61mm in thickness, and weighs 6.98g.This is a brooch frame of Medieval date similar to examples recorded on the PAS database (e.g. NLM-2DD8A4 or BH-DD05B4) and a brooch from Winchester (Biddle, 1990: no. 2028). These indicate a probable 13th-15th century AD date for the current example.
