Description: | An incomplete Medieval copper alloy annular brooch dating from the 12th century AD. The annular section of the brooch is 'd' shaped in section and is 21.8m in diameter. There is a pin constriction on one side of the annular frame. An animals head protrudes from either side of the frame with each head facing each other; thesewould have acted as a hock mechanism together with the pin. There are the remains of gilding on parts of the brooch. A very similar example can be seen in Mills 1999 page 56. The brooch is 42.9mm long, 22.2mm wide, 1.2mm thick and weighs 45.2 grams.
